In Spain, temperatures last year hit a record 117 degrees Fahrenheit. “Cities need to be prepared for these impacts, as they significantly affect people’s health and well-being,” says Irma Ventayol, a sustainability coordinator at the Barcelona City Council, who is also ...
Climate scientists are warning of serious problems for life in the Mediterranean Sea because of high temperatures during the summer. The scientists say they are seeing high water temperatures across the sea from Barcelona in Spain to Tel Aviv in Israel. Temperatures have been reported from 3 degree...

Dr. Carles Pelejero, from ICREA and the Marine Science Institute of CSIC in Barcelona, Spain. "Given the impacts we see in the fossil record, there is no question about the need to immediately reduce the rate at which we are emitting carbon dioxide in the atmosphere," he said further. ...
up to now, has been an experimental challenge. In this work we use the contactless two-laser Raman thermometry to study heat dissipation in periodic porous membranes at high temperatures via lattice conduction and air-mediated losses. We find the reduction of the thermal conductivity and its tempe...
