Biography
My academic background started in Spain where I conducted a BSc at the University of Oviedo, specializing in structural geology and stratigraphy. Then I joined a multidisciplinary-international team project in the NE Democratic Republic of Congo. Mapping, geochemistry, geomorphology, stratigraphy and structural approaches were integrated to generate geoarchaeological targets in the Ituri region.
Subsequently, I completed my MSc at my former University in Spain on basin analysis of turbiditic deposits associated with coal seams in the N of Spain.
I did my PhD at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, on the Mesoproterozoic Belt-Purcell Supergroup sequence in western North America. This research was also multi-disciplinary, covering a wide spectrum of aspects on the geochemistry of this sedimentary sequence: provenance, trace element mobility, geochronology (chemical dating of monazites) and weathering of the catchment. One of the main contributions of my PhD research, completed in 2006, was the identification of protracted basinal brine advection over ~1 Ga at a basin scale driven by distal tectonic events such as the Grenville orogen.
I have been involved in several further multidisciplinary projects ranging from: researcher on evaporitic sequences in the Turpan basin (Xinjiang Province, P.R of China); stewardship of geoarchaeology for Roman sites in Spain; and as a consultant for the steel industry ACERALIA in Spain, as the main designer and lecturer of a one-year experimental course on environment-geochemistry delivered to 6,000 people. This project aimed to promote a novel protocol for high quality production-low contamination output from the European Union.
After finishing my PhD in Canada I moved to Australia to work on gold exploration in the Meekatharra greenstone belt, Western Australia. Then, I joined the CET at the end of 2007 as a Research Fellow for the Global-Ni project. This project aims to combine automated and manual prospectively analysis at large scales to assess prospectivity for Ni-sulphide deposits in three geographical areas: Australia, sub-Saharan Africa and Indochina. A multidisciplinary approach, managing and combining large data-bases are key aspects of the project.

Key research
- My actual research activity in being focussed on hydrothermal Ni exploration, different aspects of the the Kalkarindji large igneous province and Zimababwe’s greenstone belts.
- Regarding other research, I has forged international collaborations with several institutions on a wide range of projects with:
- (1) the Polish Academy of Sciences (Poland), where I was an invited speaker last July, leading a project on geochemistry and geochronology with Dr Monika Kusiak on the Belt-Purcell basin in North America.
- (2) the University of Oviedo (Spain) co-leading a project with Dr Luis Pedro Fernandez Gonzalez on Proterozoic tidalite deposits in Montana;
- (3) the University of Saskatchewan (Canada) with Professor Robert Kerrich on rare earth element fractionation and trace element mobility during diagenesis;
- (4) and the Geological Survey of Western Australia developing a project with Dr Franco Pirajno on the geochemistry of ~1.5 and 1.1 Ga mafic-ultramafic intrusive complexes in the Bangemall, Western Australia.
