معرفی
Marco Turco is a Ramón y Cajal Researcher at the University of Murcia's Faculty of Biology, Department of Physics. He holds a PhD from the Universitat de Barcelona (2012), focusing on climate change impacts on forest fires in Catalonia. His research integrates atmospheric modeling, wildfire risk analysis, and climate projections. Key interests include fire weather trends, drought prediction, and interdisciplinary wildfire management strategies.
His work emphasizes Mediterranean environments, addressing topics like human exposure to wildfires, climate-driven fire synchronicity, and model validation for seasonal forecasts. He leads the Regional Atmospheric Modelling Group, developing hybrid models for fire prediction and collaborating on drought assessments. Publications span climate change impacts, flood damage, and the interplay between meteorology and vegetation.
Recent studies highlight non-stationary climate systems, probabilistic drought forecasting, and the role of anthropogenic factors in extreme weather. His research bridges academic and operational applications, aiming to inform policy and improve disaster resilience in vulnerable regions.
