📄 Researchers from our partner organisation Centro Tecnológico del Mar – Fundación CETMAR recently published an article on 'Seasonal, Interannual and Long‐Term Variability of SeaSurface Temperature in the NW Iberian Upwelling, 1982-2020'. Their analysis reveals a significant overall long-term sea surface warming, showcasing marked spatial differences, mainly associated with the interaction of coastal upwelling and topography. 🔗 Find out more about their key finding in their open-access publication: https://lnkd.in/e6AkzPqs Universiteit Antwerpen | FEUGA.

The TransformAr team met for its 7th consortium meeting in Exeter last week 🦦 We were welcomed by our local partner Westcountry Rivers Trust, with Emily Widdecombe, Giles Rickard, Nicola R. and more team members showing us the work the Trust has been doing on monitoring and nature-based solutions on the rivers Axe and Camel. Huge thanks again for their hospitality ! 🤝 After 3 years on collaboration, many happened during our 3 days in the South West. Results on risk assessment and avoided damages were presented, and learning stories on solutions implementation in our Demonstrator territories were shared. We also had workshops on solutions' bankability and on transformational climate adaptation. ℹ️ Stay tuned for more on TransformAr results in the coming months as we enter our final year!
