On Tuesday we again had a full meeting with the graduate students and senior advisors from ICTA. Some of the graduate students presented their work, giving all of us a sense of the research being done here. The presentations gave us a better understanding of the rooftop garden system and the various studies on the system. It was also interesting to hear some of the challenges unique to Catalonia and the potential solutions they are researching. Each of us have also been meeting individually with our advisors and gaining useful insight. As an example, I have been working with Marti to incorporate infiltration estimates into my research. Kelley and I have also been reviewing water indicator methods used in some of Xavier's work to see if this type of analysis can inform our research.
Tuesday was also Sarai's first day here! Expect her blog posts on Fridays!
Fun fact of the day: Spain has a long and proud history of solar energy use. It installed some of the first commercial solar thermal energy towers and remains a world leader in solar thermal energy production. Photovoltaic energy production is also significant in Spain, accounting for 1.8% of PV worldwide and ranking among the top 10 countries in the world.
