In 1985, I obtained a degree in Geological Sciences at the Universidad Complutense of Madrid. During 1988-1991, I was awarded a scholarship by the Spanish Ministry of Education to carry out doctorate studies at the Earth Sciences Department of the University of Leeds (G.B.), obtaining there the Ph.D. in 1993. Later, I worked as senior geologist at Compañía General de Sondeos, S.A. for 10 years (1991-1999), involved in geological mapping (National Geological Map, MAGNA) and mineral exploration projects. In 1999, I joined Rey Juan Carlos University (URJC) as associate lecturer of Geology. I obtained the tenure position at the university in 2003. During the period 1999 to the present, I have taught in different degrees at the URJC and in the master studies of Environmental Science and Technology (2005-2009, URJC), Teacher Training Secondary Education (2014, URJC), and Hydrology and Management of Water Resources (2006-present, UAH-URJC), being co-director of the later until 2020. At present, I am the coordinator in the URJC of the Doctorate Program in Hydrology and Management of Water Resources (UAH-URJC). I have been coordinator of the Doctorate Program in Sciences (2016-2021,URJC) and of the Science Section of the URJC School of Masters in the period from 2015 to 2020. I have supervised three doctoral theses (URJC, UAH) and I am currently supervising two doctoral theses in the Hydrology and Water Resources Management Program (UAH-URJC). I have participated as lecturer in 9 specialization courses in Spain (Universidad de Jaén, Universidad de Burgos, Canal de Isabel II), in Chile (Universidad de la Serena), Argentina (Servicio Geológico y Minero Argentino), and Perú (CECAMIN, Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina). I have published more than 65 scientific and technical papers (Scopus H index: 21), and book chapters. Also, I co-authored six technical books and methodological guides. At present, I participate in several research groups: FILVER (Research Group on Green Filters and Extensive Water Treatment Technologies, UAH-URJC), GEMM (Group for Mining and Environmental Studies, UCM-UCLM-ULS-URJC). I have participated in 22 competitive projects (Spain, Chile, European Union), in eight of which as IP or research group leader (CONSOLIDER Tragua). Additionally, I have participated in several contracts with companies, in several of them as research group leader. I am associate researcher at the IMDEA Agua Institute (Madrid) and collaborating researcher at the IGEA Applied Geology Institute (UCLM). Currently, I am the coordinator of the Research Group on Global Earth Change and Environmental Geology (GECEG-URJC). My research working lines are: Environmental geochemistry Hydrogeochemistry and Water Quality Quality and regeneration of water in natural systems Relationships between tectonics, plutonism / volcanism and metallogenesis Effects of global change on glacial and periglacial areas
