Science for a liveable planet

Biodiversity

We work with species and communities of plants and animals, approaching studies both from molecular scales and from the entire ecosystem.

Functioning of ecosystems

Each organism, each community and each ecosystem plays an important role in regulating the energy and nutrient cycles that keep the planet alive.

Global change

We analyze the impacts of global change on natural systems, assess their vulnerability and study the capacity for adaptation and mitigation.

Earth observation

Remote sensing and geographic information systems have made it possible to analyze the territory on very large scales and, at the same time, in detail.

Solutions

From the private sector to public policy, CREAF integrates science to solve the most pressing social challenges. Join the knowledge revolution! We pioneer impact strategies, ensuring that our research improves policy and practice.

Collaborate

In times of climate emergency, biodiversity crisis. CREAF works to understand these crises, find solutions, stop or reduce their impact on all of us. To do that we need high quality research, rigorous and reliable data, scientific evidence. But we can’t do that alone!

We collaborate internationally
