The Case of the Costa Brava (Spain) and Mobilitzacions socials a la Mediterrània peninsular: una lectura des de la mitigació i l’adaptació en referència al canvi climàtic (Documents d’Anàlisi Geogràfica).

He participates in projects on the professional management of climate change and has published results in Defining competences for future geography students in relation to low carbon societies (Journal of Geography in Higher Education). As Delegate of the Rector for Territory and Sustainability (2018–2021), he led the revision of the environmental plan of the University of Girona.
