Activities
Aquatic sedimentary cycles in the continent, littoral and marine environments focusing on: 1) Sediment dynamics.- Dynamics of the suspended sediment and sediment fluxes. Processes of ocean-continent transfer. Morphodynamics and littoral sedimentary evolution. Sedimentation in deltaic and shelf zones. Morphology and sedimentary processes in submarine canyons, valleys and deep sea fans. 2) Environmental impact of anthropogenic actions.- Effect of dumping of contaminant solids, trawling, public works (dams, harbours, submarine pipelines) in the sedimentary cycle. Dynamics of the heavy metals associated to the sediment. Historical record of contaminants 3)Global change. Sediment role in biogeochemical cycles (C, Si). Sedimentary and oceanographic variations at seasonal and historical scales.
Sea regions of study
Mediterranean Sea - Western Basin
North Atlantic Ocean
Comment(s)
I am involved in projects studying submarine canyons and environmental problems in littoral and fluvial areas.
