Spain

The 31st issue of this newsletter is the outcome of the scientific mission of NKUA in the eastern part of the Iberian peninsula (Spain), which was affected by extreme weather effects and subsequent destructive floods.

This study investigates the flooding caused by storm surge alone and in conjunction with other non-wave related factors like astronomical tides and sea level rise (SLR), using the LISFLOOD-FP model.

Spanish citizens feel most vulnerable to extreme weather and wildfires. They feel less informed and take fewer steps to prepare, despite trusting authorities more. This highlights the need for better awareness efforts.

The present study proposes a methodology to map the flood physical vulnerability and applies it using an index at urban parcel scale for a medium-sized town (Ponferrada, Spain).

This research presents the first online user experience evaluation of the A4alerts, a crisis app developed to disseminate the flood warnings triggered by the operational impact-based early warning system in Catalonia, Spain.

This paper designs a learning situation on sustainability and climate change that can be implemented in the Spanish and European contexts.

This paper provides quantitative evidence on the geography of regional readiness to tackle climate change using data from France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Spain.
