Geobiomet project
The GEOBIOMET research group, part of the University of Cantabria, aims to improve people's quality of life through scientific study from the discipline of Biometeorology. Weather and the health of living beings are related, in such a way that identifying the effects of meteorological changes allows for solutions in human health and nature. From this approach, Geobiomet - Data Maps for experimental projects, continues the work of bringing biometeorological data to all audiences, so that it can be useful for analysis and the expansion of scientific knowledge.
