Digital Elevation Model, DEM:
A digital elevation model is a visual and mathematical representation of the height values with respect to mean sea level, which allows to characterize the relief shapes and the elements or objects present in it.
Show moreClimate change:
Climate Change is a significant and lasting change in local or global climate patterns. The causes of this change can be natural, such as, for example, variations in the energy received from the sun, volcanic eruptions, changes in ocean circulation, biological processes and others. Or it can be caused by human activities (anthropic influence) such as, for example, through an increase in the emission of CO2 and other gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, or changes in the use of large areas of land, which also generate global warming.

Show moreGlobal Circulation Models (GCM):
Global Circulation Models of the Atmosphere (GCM) are mathematical algorithms that represent the Earth's climate system.
Show moreRepresentative Changes in Emission Concentration:
It refers to the representation of the different climate futures, all of which are considered possible depending on the volume of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted in the coming years.
Show morePhysicochemical Characteristics of Water:
Water has a series of characteristics that make it a unique and irreplaceable solvent in the biosphere. It is an odorless, colorless, tasteless and transparent substance. Knowing the characteristics of water is of great importance to better understand the environment, respect the environment and be aware of the need to take care of this vital element.
