Research Scientist at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), Aula Dei Experimental Station (EEAD-CSIC), Zaragoza, Spain. I co-lead the Climate and Climate Services Laboratory (LCSC).
I work on statistical climatology: climate extremes and their physical drivers, Bayesian hierarchical spatio-temporal models for large station networks, drought indices and monitoring, and long, quality-controlled climate datasets. Most of what I develop is released as open code and data.

- SPEI: R package to compute the Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and reference evapotranspiration. On CRAN.
- SPEIbase: code used to produce the SPEI global drought database (doi:10.5281/zenodo.834462).
- homogen: change-point detection and homogenisation of daily climate series.
- disdRo: tools for disdrometer data (rainfall drop size and kinetic energy).
- massmov2d: numerical model of mass movements over complex topography.
- bibliometRics: bibliometric analysis of an author or a research team.
- SPEI_calc / SPI_calc: command-line SPEI and SPI calculators in C.
With colleagues I have also developed reddPrec, for the reconstruction of daily precipitation series and grids.
- SPEI Global Drought Monitor and the SPEI global database.
- Drought Monitor of Spain and other climate services of the LCSC.
- High-resolution climate datasets for Spain, deposited in DIGITAL.CSIC: MOPREDAScentury (doi:10.5194/essd-15-2547-2023), STEAD (doi:10.5194/essd-11-1171-2019), SPREAD (doi:10.5194/essd-9-721-2017) and PTI-grid (doi:10.20350/digitalcsic/22645).
Repositories of the laboratory are in github.com/lcsc, including climind (138 standard climate indices), FlexDroughtIndex, piragua (PIRAGUA project, water resources of the Pyrenees) and the tools behind our web climate services.
I also tinker with electronic music hardware: fm1-dub is an alternative firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1 mini synth, with a community wiki for custom firmware developers.
