Maria Jose Estrela Navarro is a Full Professor in the Department of Geography at the Faculty of Geography and History, University of Valencia, where she conducts research in physical geography, climatology, and hydrological systems. She is a key member of the CLIMAMET research group, focusing on climate change, weather risks, and hydrological inputs in the Mediterranean region. Her research interests include: Climate change and its impacts on bioclimatic zones Fog-water collection as a sustainable water resource Mesoscale meteorological modeling (WRF, RAMS) Drought and precipitation trends in Mediterranean basins Fire weather and forest fire risk assessment Remote sensing and satellite data applications in climatology Her recent publications (2023–2025) reveal a strong focus on long-term climate trends in Spain and the Balearic Islands, particularly in precipitation, drought, fog-water dynamics, and wildfire risk. These studies employ advanced modeling, statistical downscaling, and satellite data to assess climate variability and change across the Iberian Peninsula. The work consistently emphasizes the Mediterranean context, leveraging high-resolution data to understand regional climate behavior and its societal implications. Scientific awards and honors are not mentioned in the available text. She advises students and leads research projects, though specific names of advisees are not listed. She has been involved in operational forecasting systems and climate modeling projects, contributing to real-time meteorological prediction in the Valencia region. Her work bridges academic research and practical applications in water resource management and climate adaptation. She leads and conducts research within the CLIMAMET research group, which investigates climate change impacts, weather extremes, and hydrological processes in the western Mediterranean, particularly in the Valencian Community and surrounding river basins (Júcar and Segura).
