Academic and applied geoscience work spanning metamorphic petrology, field geology, hydrology and petroleum-focused studies.
Selected academic work · field mapping, subsurface analysis, petrology & quantitative geoscience
A field-based geological cartography project in the Berzosa area, translating field observations into a detailed geological map and technical report that document units, contacts and structural relationships.
A petroleum engineering study covering fluid distribution in an anticlinal reservoir, porosity and pore structure, effective porosity calculations with uncertainty analysis, and Boyle’s-law helium porosimetry for core plugs.
A geological field study of the southern Robledondo sector of the Santa María de la Alameda gneissic dome, combining detailed mapping, macroscopic petrographic observations and structural measurements.
The report characterises orthogneisses, leucogneisses, migmatitic levels and mylonitic bands, using foliations, lineations, folds and ductile shear zones to reconstruct Variscan deformation, metamorphism and tectonic exhumation.
A field and petrographic study comparing the Permian semigraben basin of Pálmaces de Jadraque with the Mesozoic pull-apart basin of Sigüenza in central Iberia.
A field, structural and petrographic study across the Somosierra–Hayedo de Montejo–Berzosa area, combining geological mapping, structural observations and thin-section mineralogical analysis.
Metamorphic zonation, mineral assemblages and P–T relationships are used to interpret the tectonometamorphic evolution of the area, including the relationship between deformation, progressive metamorphism and later exhumation.
A petrographic and metamorphic characterization of basic rocks through systematic thin-section study. The report identifies mineral assemblages, metamorphic textures, relics and retrograde features, then relates them to metamorphic facies and changing P–T conditions.
The samples record a broad evolution from lower-grade greenschist conditions through amphibolite, blueschist, granulite and eclogite-related assemblages. Their comparison supports a prograde trajectory toward high pressure and temperature followed by partial retrogression during exhumation.
A petrographic characterization of pelitic rocks affected by contact metamorphism around an intrusive body. Thin-section descriptions focus on mineral assemblages, protoliths, textures and the changes produced by increasing temperature toward the thermal source.
The study interprets a low-pressure, high-temperature aureole using mineral stability and a petrogenetic grid, tracing spatial zonation from andalusite-bearing outer zones toward cordierite- and sillimanite-bearing inner zones.
A hydrological assessment of the Peñarroya reservoir basin and the Ruidera Lakes area in Campo de Montiel, focused on how precipitation, evapotranspiration, runoff and groundwater contribute to the basin water balance.
The study combines manual and QGIS-based watershed delineation with arithmetic means, Thiessen–Voronoi polygons, isohyet methods, Thornthwaite potential evapotranspiration, rating curves and hydrograph separation to evaluate water availability and environmental pressures.
NTNU coursework focused on precipitation data analysis, variability and interpretation for the Madi catchment.
These projects bring together field observation, mapping, petrographic interpretation, geomorphology and quantitative analysis to understand how geological processes shape rocks, landscapes and water systems.
