The key to halting climate change is reducing fossil fuel combustion, not planting trees
Against the backdrop of today’s Global Climate Strike, we report on an article according to which planting trees could become an excuse to carry on emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Josep Peñuelas, a CSIC researcher based at CREAF, says our priority should be reducing fossil fuel combustion to zero.
CREAF engaged with an european working group to boost Ethics and Integrity in Research
Olga Roig participated in the last ENRIO meeting, a European group to discuss the practical side of Research Ethics and Integrity.
Last November 2018, Olga Roig on behalf of CREAF took part in the first meeting of ERION, the Ethics and Research Integrity Officer Network within EARMA (European Association of Research Managers and Administrators) held in Brussels.
CREAF participates in a new COST ACTION to increase understanding of alien species through citizen science
Bernat Claramunt participates in the COST Action AlienCSI to address multidisciplinary research questions to develop and implement citizen science strategies to increase the scientific understanding of IAS ecology and dynamics, specifically informing decision-makers to implement technical requirements of relevant legislation.
Mice have “personality”
CREAF scientists have found that, contrary to what was previously thought, wood mice make decisions individually.
Satellites are overestimating vegetation's ability to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide
According to an article by CREAF researchers Benjamin Stocker and Josep Peñuelas published in Nature Geoscience, drought impact studies based on satellite data do not factor in the effects of soil moisture.
Olga Roig receives the European Certificate in Research Management
As a student from EARMA’s third European Certificate in Research Management (CRM) cohort, Olga Roig was duly awarded their completion certificate at the EARMA's Conference Awards Ceremony this April. She began their CRM studies in January 2017 and finished in the summer of 2018.
Earth Observation and Essential Variables: useful for evaluating progress towards fulfilment of the Sustainable Development Goals
A CREAF research team comprising Joan Masó, Ivette Serral, Cristina Domingo and Alaitz Zabala has created a graphic that shows the links and gaps between Essential Variables, the Sustainable Development Goal indicators and the data available from Earth observation networks.
