Luis Barbero

Catedrático de Universidad

I am currently Full Professor of Geochemistry and Petrology at the Universidad de Cádiz (Spain) and Campus of International Excellence of the Sea (CEIMAR). During the more than thirty years of academic career I have tried to have a comprehensive approach to geochemistry and petrology and in general throughout the university world. In this way, I have focused my last research stage within the world of isotopic geochemistry in fields such as low temperature thermochronology, U-Th disequilibrium series in continental and marine waters and environmental radioactivity. In recent years, an important part of my academic activity has focused on the use of sensors in drones for research and teaching in environmental and marine problems.

Research interest

• Low-temperature thermochronology: fission-track analysis and (U-Th)/He
  
• Scavenging rates in coastal areas
• Environmental radioactivity
• Groundwater geochemistry
• Unmaned Aerial Systems (UAS) in geology and environmental sciences
