About me

I was born in Granada and since I was a child I had a lot of contact with the environment, since I was in a scout group. There I learned the values of solidarity, cooperation and responsibility with our human and natural environment. This stage of my life left a mark that was reflected when I enrolled in the career of environmental sciences and the following year in the degree of Geology in Granada. When I finished this degree and after having improved my knowledge about the problems of climate change, I did not hesitate to take the master's degree at the University Pablo de Olavide Climate Change, Carbon and Water Resources, giving me a broad vision of future climate trends, existing lines of research and practices to mitigate its effects. Subsequently, I started working at the University of Granada, within the department of applied physics, conducting a study of greenhouse gases in the vadose zone (between the surface and the water table).
Currently I work in the Andalusian Center for the Evaluation and Monitoring of Global Change (CAESCG) in a project to monitor greenhouse gas fluxes, for this purpose we have installed 3 Eddy Covariance towers that measure exchanges of greenhouse gas fluxes between the atmosphere and the surface, with other associated experiments in the vadose zone and other variables that help us to monitor in detail the ecosystems where they are located.
