About Me

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Andorra Research + Innovation (Andorra), where I am doing research on climate change and climate variability in the Pyrenees. My current efforts are focused on obtaining high-resolution climate projections for this area. Apart from my interest in climate, I am also interested in everything around R programming, since practically anything imaginable with data is possible with R. This interest has led me to enroll recently in a BSc in Applied Data Science at the Open University of Catalonia!

The aim of this site is to share “tips” about R, mainly for climate analysis. For any question, do not hesitate to contact me!

Computing trends in a climate grid with Tidyverse

Reading a NetCDF in the Tidyverse style! Currently, it is possible to read a NetCDF file in a Tidyverse way through the package created by Elio Campitelli called metR. This library also contains many useful functions for visualizing and analyzing weather and climate data.

Barcelona intense urban activity greatly limited the role of the atmosphere in driving NO2 concentration in 2018

The World Health Organization defines an annual average threshold of 40 μg m−3 as the safe limit for human health. This threshold was clearly surpassed in 2018 in a large part of the Barcelona area during weekdays …
