As part of the Sierra Nevada Global Change Observatory, we are deploying a network of state-of-the-art, energy-efficient sensors powered by renewable energy sources. The goal is to monitor environmental parameters—such as temperature, air humidity, and soil moisture—in real time, enabling us to assess the effects of climate change on ecosystems.
Do you want to know today's temperature in Sierra Nevada?

In this visualization (still under development), you can consult today's temperature data, as well as the maximum and minimum temperatures from the previous day. The sensor network is installed in Dehesa del Camarate (at four altitudinal levels: 2,165, 1,900, 1,750, and 1,600 meters), in Dehesa del San Juan (at two altitudinal levels: 1,325 and 2,260 meters), and in Robledal de Cañar – Soportújar (at two altitudinal levels: 1,950 and 1,600 meters). All temperature and humidity data obtained from this sensor network deployed in the Sierra Nevada oak forests will soon be available for consultation and download.
The infrastructure was acquired by the University of Granada thanks to an infrastructure project from the Ministry of Science and Innovation granted to the IISTA-UGR (2019 call), titled: EQUIPMENT FOR IISTA'S PARTICIPATION IN INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC NETWORKS AND PROJECTS. Reference: EQC2019-006423-P. Personnel from the Ecology Laboratory (iEcolab) of the Andalusian Inter-University Institute for Earth System Research (IISTA-UGR) are responsible for the deployment, maintenance of these sensor networks, and the valorization of the collected information.
We would like to thank the Environmental Agents of the Sierra Nevada Natural Area for their assistance in locating the ideal sites for the installation and monitoring of the sensor network.
