What we do

The GEOTIGMA group develops research work related to different branches of Geography, especially those linked to the Environment and the application of Geographic Information Technology. The main research lines are dedicated to the following aspects:

  • The dynamics of the territory and landscape, covering aspects related to territorial planning.
  • Cultural landscapes, especially those configured by terraces in islands, and their role in the current scenario of global change.
  • Natural risks associated with adverse meteorological phenomena (AMP), with special attention to intense rainfall and its consequences on the population, civil protection and governance
  • Coasts of volcanic islands, including the natural processes and the interactions that human activities have on these processes.
  • Arid coastal aeolian sedimentary systems, both in terms of their natural processes and the consequences of human activities on them.
  • Inclusive heritage, both in natural and cultural aspects.

The development of these studies is carried out through competitive research projects, contracts with administrations and research contracts, which give rise to master's and doctoral theses.
