I am a physical geographer. I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Zaragoza (Spain) in May 2017. My research focused on understanding past climate variability, particularly that which precedes the pre-industrial era, through the combination of high-resolution proxies, such as tree-ring records or historical documents. In July 2018, I joined the research group of Prof. Mathias Vuille at UAlbany and I am currently working on the PIRE Create project as a Research Scientist. The main purpose of my study is to investigate Last Millennium climate variability and societal impacts over the Americas by combining high-resolution proxies and Climate Model Simulations.

In addition, I have also organized and led multiple field expeditions in Spain and participated in a very ambitious expedition in Bolivia looking for old trees above 4,000 masl.

​

Finally, I am very lucky to be able to combine my two passions-science and filmmaking-which together with my commitment to outreach has led me to produce a long documentary on climate change and paleoclimatology (www.chasingtracespast.com), and direct a short documentary on dendroclimatology ("The Secret of the Trees"), among other film projects.
