Wellcome Attriverse project (2025-2028), coordinator Dann Mitchell, University of Bristol, UK

The international BREATHE project develops a framework for health impact attribution, applicable across geographical scales and socio-economic contexts. EBD-CSIC constributes by attributing heat-related hospitalizations at multi-country scales to anthropogenic climate change, using observation and model-based approaches for deriving temperature counterfactuals.

Severo Ochoa PhD project at EBD-CSIC (2026-2030), co-supervision with Andy J. Green

This project investigates associations between cyanobacterial blooms in Spanish reservoirs and adverse human health outcomes, such as liver disease related mortality. It also aims at studying associations between climate change, as, e.g., measured by increasing water temperatures, and cyanobacterial bloom occurrence. Annual exposure maps of cyanobacterial toxins are constructed based on remote sensing data, and subsequently linked with age-standardised cause-specific mortality data on the level of Spanish municipalities > 10 000 inhabitants.

COST Action (2025-2029), coordinator Christopher Reyer, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Germany

This COST Action aims at better understanding cascading climate change impacts affecting Europe. I co-lead the task group “Cascading impacts of heatwaves” belonging to WG1 together with Aleš Urban, and I am member of the Management Committee.
