Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Santiago de Compostela since 1999. He has carried out research stays in Guelph (Ontario, Canada), Strasbourg (France), Laval (Quebec, Canada), Montevideo (Uruguay), Mendoza (Argentina), Sao Paulo (Brazil) University of Chile (Santiago de Chile) and ESPE University (Quito, Ecuador. He has participated in 25 research projects, having directed more than a dozen of them, and numerous technical assistances for different institutions. He has carried out research in Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Uruguay, Morocco and Chile He has been President and Vice President of the Spanish Society of Geomorphology (SEG) between 2004 and 2006, and Director of the Department of Geography at the University of Santiago de Compostela between 1999 and 2003. He has participated as organizer of the Field Days of Physical Geography of the Association of Spanish Geographers (1992), of the II Days on Periglacialism in the Iberian Peninsula (1994), the First International Quaternary Paleoenvironment Symposium on the Iberian Peninsula (1995), the First Spanish-French Meeting of Geomorphology (1998), the II Conference on Littoral Geomorphology (2003), and the IX National Meeting de Geomorfología (2006). He also has extensive teaching experience in Bachelor’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctorate degrees at the University of Santiago de Compostela. He has also been a visiting professor at the Universities of Le Mans and Nantes (France), Neuquén (Argentina) and Quito (Ecuador), and has participated as a speaker in more than 60 courses. He has directed doctoral theses, as well as numerous Master’s theses, dissertations, doctoral research projects and final degree projects. It has been Trasalva Award 2002.
