The physicist José Antonio Sobrino, professor of Earth Physics at the University of Valencia in the field of remote sensing, has explained that "drastic measures must be taken to avoid global warming, as we are very close to the point of no return where the situation will be irreversible". Sobrino explained that global warming is visible thanks to remote sensing, and that the data obtained are evident and the Earth's temperature is increasing during the lecture "Temperatura de la superficie terrestre desde satélites: estimación y aplicaciones" ["Earth surface temperature from satellites: estimation and applications"] organised by the Ciutat de Castelló Chair of the Universitat Jaume I.

José Antonio Sobrino explained that with remote sensing it is possible to control volcanic emanations, the effects of drought in Africa, the increase in water masses or tsunamis, the disappearance of glaciers, the concentration of chlorophyll in the oceans, essential for catches in the fishing sector; in short, a multitude of applications for different sectors and professions such as oceanographers, geographers, physicists, foresters, etc.

José Antonio Sobrino, Rei Jaume I Prize for Environmental Protection 2019, is the current president of the Spanish Association of Remote Sensing, director of the *Revista Española de Teledetección* and director of the Global Change Unit of the University of Valencia. As an Earth physicist specialising in remote sensing, his lines of research focus on the study of the changes affecting our planet analysed with the support of remote sensing satellites and the digital treatment of the images supplied by them. It also focuses on the development of operational algorithms to estimate the temperature and emissivity of the Earth's surface, evapotranspiration, thermal inertia, the total water vapour content of the atmosphere, soil moisture, the space-time dynamics of land cover and the heat island, among others.

He currently directs the Global Change Unit of the Image Processing Laboratory at the Science Park of the University of Valencia. He has published more than 300 works in national and international journals and scientific books and has made more than 200 communications in congresses. He has directed 20 doctoral theses and 60 research projects funded by different organisations in Spain, the European Union and the European Space Agency.
