Born into a family that worked in Lanzarote&#8217;s tourism sector, he grew up in Puerto del Carmen at a time when the only hotels on the Avenida were the Fariones Hotel, the San Antonio and little else. \u2018I grew up playing on the coast and in the countryside, fishing for cuttlefish and octopus with my landline and hunting partridges with my father. As a child, I was fascinated by different phenomena like the horseshoe-shaped volcanoes that had been opened to the north by the trade winds, the ground swell formed at sea when there was calima in the air and the insects this would carry all the way from the Sahara.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I went to primary school in T\u00edas and did my secondary education in San Bartolom\u00e9 and Yaiza, where I have fond memories of my mathematics and physics teachers. In the afternoons, I would cycle to English classes from Puerto del Carmen to T\u00edas.\u2019 He went on to study Physics at the University of La Laguna in Tenerife, where he started researching atmospheric physics with the Iza\u00f1a Atmospheric Observatory. \u2018Back in 1998, the Lanzarote Cabildo awarded me a grant to carry out my postgraduate studies.\u2019 After doing his doctoral thesis at the CSIC Institute in Barcelona, his career took him overseas. \u2018I have worked in the Climate Change Unit at the European Commission\u2019s Joint Research Centre in Italy; the Natural Environment Research Council in the United Kingdom and I\u2019ve developed several research and training projects with the World Meteorological Organisation in Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Morocco, Bolivia, Guatemala and Cape Verde.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Back in the Canary Islands, Sergio Rodr\u00edguez became a researcher for the State Meteorological Agency at the Iza\u00f1a Atmospheric Research Centre in Tenerife, where he designed and developed its research programme to study the impact of aerosols on the climate.<\/p>\n<p>He is currently a senior scientist at the CSIC in Tenerife (ipna.csic.es), where he continues his research and has an advisory role at the Ministry of Ecological Transition, the State Meteorological Agency and the Canarian Government on monitoring air quality. His work was particularly intense during the eruption in La Palma. \u2018I\u2019ve never truly left Lanzarote. I work a lot from Puerto del Carmen, where my son and parents still live.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Always in tune with the natural world, his determination, tenacity and observant nature have contributed to his brilliant scientific career Sergio Rodr\u00edguez is a researcher at the Spanish National Research [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13186,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52,50],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
