IBERIAN FUTURE WINES
Assessing the Future of Our Wines
It is a research project that aim at compiling, centralizing and analyzing data on native winegrape varieties to assess and predict the impacts of climate change on viticulture in the Iberian Peninsula. More specifically, we are collecting data on phenological, enological and agronomic traits and unifying them in a large dataset, that will be used to quantify the effects of climate on the productivity and quality of 16 winegrape varieties that best represent Spanish wines. In advanced stages of the project, predictive models of the maturation capacity of the Iberian varieties will be forecasted for the winegrowing regions of the Iberian Peninsula and the World.

Research Lines
Many ecological processes are multi-scale, both in the spatial and temporal dimensions, from the intra-species adaptations and fitness to global biogeographic patterns and the evolution of lineages over geological time-scales. Many of the challenges posed appear in the interphase of such dimensions, so the creation of GloCEE stems from that need of an integrative perspective to address global challenges in a changing biosphere. The members at GloCEE apply the newest analytical tools to address ecological and macroevolutionary questions, with a particular emphasis in the study of the impacts of global perturbations on ecological systems and their impact on long-term evolutionary dynamics.
