Analysis of the aerosol-radiation-cloud interactions through the use of regional climate/chemistry coupled models 

    Baró Esteban, Rocío (Date of defense: 2017-06-23)

    The response of the climate systems to aerosols and their effect on the radiative budget of the Earth is the most uncertain climate feedback and one of the key topics in climate change mitigation. Air quality-climate studies ...

    Aplicación de MALDI-TOF Imaging y HPLC-MS/MS al estudio de la degradación del polímero policaprolactonadiol en diferentes medios acuáticos 

    Rivas Becerra, Daniel (Date of defense: 2017-11-20)

    Water is essential for life, human activities and ecosystems. The global climate change together the population increase causes an imbalance between the demand of water and the available water resources.. All these factors ...

    Effects of atmospheric deposition on microbial dynamics and composition in two anthropogenically-influenced contrasted coastal sites 

    Marín Beltrán, Isabel (Date of defense: 2017-07-21)

    The Mediterranean Sea is an oligotrophic basin, while the atmosphere above is affected by continuous emissions of anthropogenic aerosols and episodic Saharan dust events. These atmospheric inputs finally deposit (as wet ...

    Mathematical formulations of water mixing for reactive transport through heterogeneous media 

    Soler Sagarra, Joaquim (Date of defense: 2020-07-28)

    The study of transport of reacting solute through aquifers is relevant in many engineering fields. Reactive transport (RT) is complex because it consists of two phenomena, solute transport and chemical reactions, both of ...

    Nuevas aproximaciones toxicológicas para la detección de disruptores endocrinos y lipídicos en ecosistemas mediterráneos y sistemas celulares 

    Blanco Rubio, María (Date of defense: 2018-03-20)

    Chemical compounds derived from human activities continuously reach aquatic systems, where they are available to the organisms that inhabit them. Traditionally, environmental risk assessment has been based on the chemical ...

    Optimización de la reología de componentes fotocatalíticos para aplicaciones avanzadas en elementos de fachada 

    Elkoro Ugarteburu, Ander (Date of defense: 2018-10-26)

    This thesis discusses the development of a new methodology for 3D printing of TiO2 nanoparticles and its applications in air purification and hydrogen production. A dosage has been obtained that allows 3D printing by DIW ...
