I am an engineering geologist, interested in understanding the triggering mechanisms and the dynamics of landslides. My research spans over several disciplines of engineering geology, such as: geotechnics, geomorphology or geomatics. I use monitoring techniques, field reconnaissance and remote sensing to collect and interpret data from landslides and slope instabilities, and I work with numerical models to investigate their triggering processes and mobility. Despite the academic character of my research, I am especially committed to pursue its applicability. At the moment I am doing research in between the Universitat de Barcelona (ES) and the University of Exeter (UK)- info
