Amelia Fernández MSc. holds a BSc. In Telecommunications Systems Engineering and a MSc. In Telecommunications Engineering from Polytechnical University of Cartagena, Spain. Taking advantage of the wide range of possible applications of Telecommunications, she had been focused during her study on trying to use remote sensing for solving real problems and challenges related to Climate Change and Earth Observation.

Amelia has developed expertise in geospatial analysis, software development and forecasting tools for supporting sustainable water resources management and developing climate adaptation strategies.In addition, she has designed and delivered training programs in countries such as Zambia and Pakistan for well-known institutions as NUFFIC (the Netherlands) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (UN-FAO).

  Megadroughts in the water towers of Europe – from process understanding to strategies for management and adaptation

  Megadroughts are rare and poorly understood hazards. They are defined as exceptionally severe, multi-year, prolonged (>5 years) periods of drought that impact severely large areas and different sectors of the economy and the environment (Cook et al., 2022). They are generally caused by the concurrence of extreme events of dryness...

  MAGDA: Meteorological Assimilation from Galileo and Drones for Agriculture

  The MAGDA project aims at providing an integrated – but modular – system to provide severe weather forecasts and irrigation advisories enhanced by means of various satellite-borne, drone-borne and ground-based weather-observing technologies. The main applications will be in providing both warnings about severe weather that could affect crops and irrigation...

  SOS-Water: Water Resources System Safe Operating Space in a Changing Climate and Society

  The SOS-Water Project endeavours to set out the boundaries within which the Earth’s capacity to provide life-support systems for humanity is not endangered, and humanity’s capacity to adapt to environmental changes is not overburdened. Crossing such thresholds or tipping points in the complex Earth system could result in abrupt and...
