Abstract

ADAPTAMED is a research project that aims to reconstruct and compare droughts and floods on the Spanish Mediterranean coast (1750–2025) to assess social vulnerability and propose evidence-based territorial adaptation measures. It is structured into two subprojects: DRYMED (droughts) and FLOODMED (floods). It combines dendrochronology, instrumental series, historical archives, and cartography/GIS to link climate hazards with changing exposure and vulnerability. Expected outputs include a Drought Atlas (18th–19th centuries), historical flood exposure maps, a catalog of droughts with impact, and a strategic adaptation document. ADAPTAMED translates three centuries of climate memory into concrete decisions: maps, indices, and operational rules that help improve land use planning, water management, and emergency response. With open data and tools, it offers administrations and productive sectors a rigorous and replicable basis to reduce risks today and increase resilience in the coming decades.
