How climate change affects water resources in Costa Rica (Spanish Edition)

Creators

Description

Sitting on the thin stretch of land that separates the Pacific from the Caribbean, Costa Rica has in recent years experienced above-average ocean temperatures and the first hurricane ever recorded. With the help of the IAEA, its scientists are now turning to isotopic techniques to monitor these extreme weather events and protect the country's water and population, in a region that has been identified as an area that could be particularly affected by climate change.
