I am a stream ecologist working at CEAB-CSIC, Blanes, Spain, as a permanent staff researcher. My research focuses on the dynamics of organic matter and nutrients (N and P) in fluvial ecosystems and the environmental controls and biogeochemical mechanisms driving them. Research is conducted in Mediterranean streams draining both pristine and human-altered catchments; especially, urban streams receiving inputs from wastewater treatment plant effluents (WWTP). I’m also one of the leaders of the Urban River Lab (www.urbanriverlab.com), an experimental platform aimed at assessing stream responses to WWTP effluent inputs and search for Nature Based Solutions to reduce this impact
