The Mediterranean region faces long-standing problems of pollution of sea, land and air. Current climate change will lead to increased summer temperatures, an increase in drought events and in the frequency of forest wild fires. This will significantly affect the Mediterranean environment and human societies. The research taking place at NEO is orientated towards these challenges.
- Multi-disciplinary research is conducted within relevant research fields, such as: i) atmospheric composition and changes, ii) geology, geomorphology and landscape changes, and iii) climate, water and environmental changes. The atmospheric composition and meteorological parameters are continuously monitored in order to track the origin of pollutants and detect climate change signals. Global and regional scale modelling is applied for climate projections and future pollution level simulations. Hydrological research, monitoring and evaluation are undertaken in order to understand past, present and future processes and to develop suitable water resource management strategies for the region. Tectonic, climate, environment and landscape studies are carried out in a long-term perspective, to understand the physical science basis of our earth. All monitoring activities are linked to international networks
