EDUCATION AND TRAINING

s

MASTER Water Management and Administration University of Murcia.

SPAIN Oct 08-Jul 09 Modules of Law, Hidrology, Economy, History,

Geomorphology, Administration, Hydrogeology, Environment, Management,

Ecology and Remote Sensing, all of them related to water issues, with

final dissertation in "Placement of landfills at semiarid areas depending

on Groundwater".

Because of the location of the city itself in semiarid area and the

fact the irrigated region of Murcia is the most important in Europe in

terms of profitability and quality, the Master was especially oriented in

irrigation issues, managing the water available in its territory and its

best distribution through rivers and artificial channels, using groundwater

for drip irrigation.

Graduate Business Programme GIEU University of Liverpool.

UK Jun-Jul 2006 An intensive business awareness

programme designed to equip graduates with the career management, personal

development and practical business skills required to meet the needs of

local companies. Modules include Team Working, Presentation Skills, Time

Management, Business Communication, Business Awareness and Making an Impact

in the Workplace.

BSc(Hons) Geology and Physical Geography University of Liverpool. UK

Sep04-May06 Dissertation in Coastal Environment at West Kirby, near

Liverpool, with field (sampling and measurement of the bed forms

parameters), computer (Excel tables and graphs, granulometry program ORIGIN

with final interpretation) and laboratory skills development (Drying out

sand samples, Particle grain size analysis through sieving and cumulative

frequency plots with Magnetic grain size analysis helped by magnetometer

and high field magnetiser). The main idea was to understand the

relationship between high-low tide vertical movements and the sand bed

forms created by them with final mapping.

Gained highest marks in modules related to water (geofluids, fluvial

response, glacial environments) and landscape configuration, with projects

well considered (40%) in the final marks. Mapping programs used in the

final year: CorelDraw in Liverpool for geomorphologic mapping, colouring

different geological, vegetation and population areas, with colour and

symbol legends with further explanation. IDRISI and ArcInfo, i.e. GIS

programs, in Granada, for geological mapping, showing rocks and structures.

Geology University of Granada. SPAIN

Oct 1995-Sep 2002 Completed four out of the five course

modules, which were undertaken over a six year period (as is usual in the

Spanish university system). The course was interrupted by my relocation

abroad and was partially completed in Liverpool.
