My research focuses on evaluating how changes in climate and terrestrial environment shape stream hydrology and biogeochemistry across multiple spatial and temporal scales. My interests include catchment hydrology, stream metabolism, soil microbial processes, stream nutrient dynamics, and riparian-stream linkages. I utilize a mix a number of different tools and approaches, including catchment monitoring, field-based studies, lab incubations, and mechanistic models, to broaden scientific knowledge across space and time. While my research mainly focused on nitrogen dynamics, I am currently widening my scientific research to other nutrients such as carbon or phosphorus.

PROJECTS
Headwater basins provide water supply, greenhouse gas regulation, and other essential ecosystem services. However, human activities have altered its functioning. This research project investigates how factors of anthropogenic origin alter the dynamics of headwater basins, especially their role in climate regulation.
The BEYOND project, a MSCA Doctoral Network, will train the next generation of water professionals to tackle European water quality challenges in the context of climate change and emerging contaminants. Researchers will gain interdisciplinary skills, access to cutting-edge technologies, and expertise in water management to drive innovation and improve water quality.
This research project aims to evaluate the role of lateral inflows and see which can be considered "hot spots" due to their great influence on the biogeochemical processes taking place in rivers.
How do water inputs from both tributaries and groundwater change the processes happening in the river? The research project investigates this question and aims to find the key contribution areas to define the processes of rivers in different biomes. It includes field work and controlled experimentation in the CEAB-CSIC infrastructure.
Our proposal is a collaboration between all the CSIC Institutes that work in marine sciences and aims to develop a comprehensive scientific dissemination program about marine ecosystems, their importance, the threats they face and what we can do as citizens.
In this project, we measure the anthropogenic impact on the rivers of high mountain national parks, investigate the response of river ecosystems to this impact, and evaluate management strategies to mitigate this impact.
Determining whether ecosystems act as sources or sinks of carbon (C) is essential to mitigate the consequences of climate change and to carry out restoration actions and environmental policies that help us confront the climate crisis.
