OVERVIEW 

In many European countries, the coastal zone is often not only densely populated but also the focus of much economic activity. The sea level and temperature rise are poised to exacerbate a series of hazards in the coastal cities, affecting large human and ecological values. Emilio’s research activity aims to foster the development of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) tools, ecosystem-based approaches (EBA) and nature-based solutions (NBS) to address the challenge of climate change in Europe.

CURRENT ACTIVITIES

Emilio is a PhD student at University College Cork, holding a PhD Research Position within the “Smart Control of the Climate Resilience in European Coastal Cities (SCORE)” EU-funded project and collaborating in the EU-funded project “Study on the Offshore Energy Potential in the Atlantic Ocean”.

BACKGROUND

He is a Spanish Civil Engineer (BEng & MEng) with a background in Coastal and Port Engineering and Geotechnics.
