Physicists of the University of Granada develop a climate prediction project in Europe
The last project presented by the group Atmosphere Physics, directed by Prof. Yolanda Castro Díez, counts on the explicit support of important electric companies like Endesa, Iberdrola and Unión Fenosa. In Spain, between 10% and 30% electricity is extracted from water resources. For that reason, it is very important for the hydroelectric sector to collaborate with the only Spanish team whose projects approach prediction, one season in advance, of rainfalls and temperatures in Europe.In order (...)

UGR researchers apply microwave technology to detect from underground hidden objects to breast tumors
The group Electromagnetism of the University of Granada (UGR), supervised by Prof. Rafael Gómez Martín, is working in the design of microwave systems to detect hidden objects. Specifically, materials with earth penetration radars and breast tumors. The projects of these researchers have not only focused on the design of this technology, but also on its specific application. Thus, they have favoured the removal of some marble blocks to the Faculty of Sciences to analyse them (...)

Experts study the possible connection between seismic activity and fissures in the walls of the Alhambra
In this work, the researchers have determined that the small displacement produced by these faults may be due to earthquakes of moderate magnitude caused by them, or to movements caused by first-rate earthquakes generated by other fults of the same system. “Both assumptions –the risponsibles for the research work maintain—are possible as the orientation and nature of the faults of the Alhambra coincides with the regional guideline of major seismic activity in the depression of (...)
