Líneas de investigación
- Dinámica de contaminantes en el ambiente usando isótopos estables y radioactivos como trazadores
- Impacto de actividades antrópicas (minería y agricultura) en la dispersión de contaminantes
- Efectos de eventos extremos (crecidas, inundaciones, incendios forestales) en la (re)movilización de contaminantes
Mi línea de investigación se enmarca en el estudio de fuentes, transporte, distribución, tiempos de residencia e impactos de contaminantes, particularmente, pero no limitado a, metales trazas, radionucleidos y fósforo, en matrices ambientales como agua, suelo y sedimento usando isótopos estables y radiactivos como trazadores. Se abordan implicaciones en la gestión de los recursos naturales, hídricos y suelo, para la mitigación de los impactos de actividades antrópicas tales como minería y agricultura e impactos de desastres naturales como crecidas de ríos, inundaciones e incendios forestales en la dispersión de contaminantes en un contexto de cambio global
