Analysis of climate anomalies for La Villa river basin, Panama, based on RCP scenarios

The use of climate change projections is crucial for mitigation and adaptation, which are the basis for creating resilience. However, access to these scientific products is scarce in Latin America and the existing studies lack of an appropriate resolution to analyze small but highly vulnerable regio...
