The Earth and Climate Sciences Research Group focuses on the study of the Earth's structure, morphology, evolution, and dynamic processes, as well as their interactions with climate and their influence on the natural resources that sustain society. The group is committed to generating high-quality scientific knowledge in the Earth sciences through ethical, transparent, and collaborative research that is accessible to both the scientific community and society.

Its research contributes to a better understanding of Earth system processes, supporting the sustainable management of natural resources, evidence-based decision-making, territorial planning, and strategies for climate resilience and sustainable development.
