Doctor by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid with the thesis Evolución sedimentológica y controles estructurales de un borde de cuenca extensional comienzo del Mesozoico en un sector del margen occidental de la Cordillera Ibérica 1991. Supervised by Dr. Alfonso Sopeña, Dr. Amparo Ramos Ruiz.

I graduated with a BSc in 1986 and I complete my PhD in 1991 (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) , which was concerned with the sedimentological and structural controls at NW Iberian Triassic basin edge. After postdoctoral research collaboration with Institut Français du Pétrole (France) and Spanish Oceanographic Institute, I appointment as senior lecturer in Sedimentology and stratigraphy in 1998 within the Department of Stratigraphy at Complutense University. I am a specialist in sedimentology, with special emphasis on fluvial sedimentology, tectonics-sedimentation and Slackwater deposits in relationship with Global Change.
