I am a geographer and environmental scientist dedicated to understanding past climate variability and how environmental systems respond to long‑term changes. As a predoctoral researcher at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, my work focuses on dendroclimatology to characterise historical precipitation patterns in climatically sensitive regions.
My research combines fieldwork, laboratory techniques and advanced statistical approaches to generate robust paleoclimatic records that help improve our understanding of extreme events and ecosystem dynamics. Beyond the biophysical dimension, I am strongly interested in the intersection between natural and social sciences: how environmental variability shapes human systems, land‑use decisions, and community resilience, and how socio‑environmental dynamics feed back into ecological and climatic processes.
