Research question

We tried to find a correlation between climatic elements and the surface of the lake of the geese in the Doñana National Park.

Summary of the project
Lake of Gesse in Doñana National Park

We have been measuring the surface of the lake for six years using the EO Browser website. We have also used climatic data obtained from the State Meteorological Agency, such as rainfall in the provinces of Seville and Huelva, rainfall in the Guadalquivir river basin to find a correlation between these climatic elements and the surface of the lake.

We have carried out a parallel study to the main study that consisted of seeing the evolution of average temperatures over six years in the provinces of Andalusia (Spain).

Main results and Conclusions
Correlations

Unfortunately we have not found a correlation between the selected climatic elements and the surface.
Perhaps data from more localized climatic elements (near the lake) should have been found, or perhaps human factors influence the lack of correlation between climatic elements and water collected in the lake.

What’s Next? Actions to make a difference and help lessen the problem

For future studies we will try to collect climatic data close to the lake, mainly precipitation in the vicinity.
