A Mediterranean climate is typically characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. This climate is found in regions surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, as well as in parts of California, South Africa, and Australia. The research in this area often focuses on understanding the variability and impacts of climate change on these regions, as well as studying the ecological and social implications of Mediterranean climates on habitats, agriculture, and human populations. Additionally, researchers may explore the potential for adaptation and mitigation strategies to address the challenges posed by a Mediterranean climate.
