Overview

Inigo J. Losada is affiliated with the University of Cantabria in Spain and focuses their research primarily in the fields of Earth and Planetary Sciences and Environmental Science.

Their work covers several specialized subfields, including Earth-Surface Processes, Atmospheric Science, Oceanography, Ecology, and Global and Planetary Change. The main topics explored throughout their publications include Coastal and Marine Dynamics, Tropical and Extratropical Cyclones Research, Coastal Wetland Ecosystem Dynamics, Ocean Waves and Remote Sensing, Flood Risk Assessment and Management, Climate Variability and Models, and Coastal and Marine Management.

Losada has contributed to numerous research articles, with recent publications including:

  • The Global Flood Protection Benefits of Mangroves, 2020, Scientific Reports
  • Climate change risk to global port operations, 2020, Nature Climate Change
  • Climate change-driven coastal erosion modelling in temperate sandy beaches: Methods and uncertainty treatment, 2020, Earth-Science Reviews
  • Future behavior of wind wave extremes due to climate change, 2021, Scientific Reports
  • Status of global coastal adaptation, 2023, Nature Climate Change

The venues where Losada frequently publishes reflect their focus on coastal and environmental sciences and include Coastal Engineering, Coastal Engineering Proceedings, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Proceedings of the 39th IAHR World Congress, and Scientific Reports.

Their collaborative work involves several frequent co-authors, such as Javier L. Lara, Alexandra Toimil, Moisés Álvarez-Cuesta, María Maza, and David Lucio. This network indicates a strong engagement with colleagues active in coastal and environmental research domains.

Inigo J. Losada is recognized as a member of both Academia Europaea and the European Academy of Sciences, with both memberships attained in 2020. These memberships indicate engagement with broader scientific communities at a European level.
