Investigación

Ph.D. in Geosciences (1994), has over 20 years experience in modeling low-Temperature geochemical processes including isotope geochemistry and geomicrobiology with an internationally recognised track record of applying specialised analytical techniques for problem solving applied to surface and sub-surface processes.

The specific objectives of the research group cover the following subjects:

•  - Studies on the biogeochemical exchange mechanisms of greenhouse gases (GEIs) between subsoil/soil/atmosphere and its response to climate variations either natural or those of anthropic origin.
•  
• - Environmental-biogeochemical monitoring of earth ecosystems in different climatic contexts.
•  
• - Applying isotopic chemistry and environmental monitoring of ecosystems to quantify exchange fluxes of GHGs  between earth ecosystems and the atmosphere.
•  
• - Developing, at mid-long term, technological alternatives for removal or storage of GEIs; identifying a new cost-efficient method to mitigate CH4 emissions; designing  new strategies for CO2 sequestration in subterranean environments.
