Dr. Salvador Sánchez-Carrillo
Senior scientist at the National Museum of Natural History (MNCN-CSIC) E-mail: sanchez.carrillo@mncn.csic.es Office: (+34) 91782 2089 Salva is a systems scientist and biogeochemist. He received his PhD in Geosciences (2000) from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain), studying the biogeochemistry of semi-arid wetlands. Prior to joining the MNCN (2010), he had a PhD position at the Center for Environmental Sciences (CCMA-CSIC) in Madrid (1997-2000), and later he was postdoc at the Geology Department of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (2001) and Visiting Professor at the Instituto Tecnológico de Sonora (Mexico) as a research fellowship of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2002-2003). From 2003 to 2007 Salva was at the Instituto Tecnológico de Sonora as Professor and then, in 2007, he held a Senior Researcher position in the Spanish Research Council (CSIC), first at the Insitute of Natural Resources (IRN-CSIC; 2007-2010) and thereafter at the MNCN. During this time he has worked extensively on biogeochemical processes involved in the carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycles, the impacts of global change, the emission of greenhouse gasses and the interaction between ecosystem functioning and structure (food-webs). He was focused on freshwater ecosystems (wetlands, rivers and lakes) but also on transitional ecosystems (mangroves and coastal wetlands). Enjoy walking in the nature and observing complex landscapes. Salva would have liked to be a rock drummer but he's better as a scientist so he's happy to play drums occasionally at home when neighbors let him do it. Although he is enthusiastic about music, over the years he has become a great lover of silence. |
Dr. Miguel Alvarez-Cobelas
Senior scientist at the National Museum of Natural History (MNCN-CSIC) E-mail: malvarez@mncn.csic.es Office: (+34) 91745 2500 (980506) The scientific career of Miguel has always been dominated by the idea of environmental synthesis: synthesis of structures, process synthesis and global description of the ecosystem structure and function. Although his first training was as algologist, he gradually drifted towards the comprehensive study of freshwaters, which led him to biogeochemical processes of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. He received his PhD in Biology (1982) from the Universidad Complutense (Spain). His early carreer as a doctoral scientist (1979-1982) was in Canal de Isabel II (Madrid), Royal Botanical Garden (RJB-CSIC), Department of Botany of Pharmacy Faculty (Universidad Complutense) and Center for Water Research (CIDA-CSIC). Miguel held a postdoc position firsly at the CIDA (1982-1986) and later (1987-1988) at the Institute of Fat Research (IG-CSIC). Then he was Assistant Professor (1989-1990) in the Departament of Plant Biology of the Faculty of Biology (Universidad Complutense). Finally Miguel held a Senior Researcher position in the Spanish Research Council (CSIC), firstly at the CIDA (1990-1992), CCMA-CSIC (1992-2005) and IRN-CSIC (2005-2010) and since then at the MNCN. Miguel has always been interested in the ecosystem as a whole, including the role of humans on shaping ecosystems and, hence, he published several books combining ecosystem description and human history. He is deeply interested in understanding how the Spanish scientific system works and how the daily life of the Spaniard scientists is. Miguel is mainly both a book-eater and an erudite who loves cinema, drama, music, literature and fine arts. |

José Luis Ayala Liquiñano
Technical manager of the Lab, National Museum of Natural History (MNCN-CSIC) E-mail: jlayala@mncn.csic.es Office: (+34) 91745 2500 985041 José Luis has a degree in Chemistry (1994) from the Universidad Complutense (Spain) and then a postgraduate degree in Analytical and Instrumental Chemistry (1996). Prior to arriving the Biogeochemistry Lab, he was at the Laboratory of Animal Health of the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (2003-2007) and in the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (2007-2008). In 2008 José Luis arrived at our Lab and from then he coordinates the Laboratory functioning and equipment as well. He carried out numerous advanced courses in gas and liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry and coupling of these instrumental techniques. Great soccer fan, he has his heart delivered to his beloved Atlético de Madrid. |

Alejandro Abadía Gil
Technician, National Museum of Natural History (MNCN-CSIC) E-mail: aabadia@mncn.csic.es Office: (+34) 91745 2500 985041 Alejandro has a degree in Chemistry (2008) from the Universidad Complutense (Spain). He arrived to the Lab in 2016 under the Programa de Empleo Joven y Garantía Juvenil of Madrid County. He is in charge of field work and experiments, also carrying out physical and chemical analyses of water, sediment and plants in the laboratory. During these years Alejandro has taken numerous advanced courses on chemical analytics, including gas and liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Like José Luis, Alejandro is a great soccer fan but, in this case, he is surrendered to F.C. Barcelona. |
Graduate students
Miriam Miguel Ruano (November 2018-September 2019), Bachelor in Biology from Univ. Autónoma de Madrid. She is currently studying a MSc in Ecosystem Restoration at the University of Alcalá de Henares. The topic of her thesis is the decline of the cut-sedge (Cladium mariscus) in the wetlands of central Spain and the main drivers needed for its restoration, which Miriam will perform in our Lab advised by Salva.
