Resumen de Méritos Docentes

Formal teaching
Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry. University of Granada. Spain.

Soil science. Degree in Environmental Sciences (2º course). Laboratory practices (soil analysis: sample treatment, pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon, calcium carbonate content, texture, colour, structure, exchangeable bases and cation exchange capacity, moisture, and useful water). Assigned teaching hours: 20 hours (2019/2020), 20 hours (2020/2021), 60 hours (2021/2022).

Soil evaluation, management, conservation, and restoration techniques. Degree in Environmental Sciences (3º course). Field practices (description of different recovery techniques for mining sites: erosion control, vegetation establishment, etc.; and explanation of how to measure the concentration of potentially harmful elements at field by X-ray fluorescence) and computer-based practices on soil evaluation (USDA agrological classes, Riquier) and land use change assessment. Assigned teaching hours: 8 hours (2019/2020), 8 hours (2020/2021).

The physical environment. Degree in Biology (1º course). Laboratory practices (soil analysis: sample treatment, pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon, calcium carbonate
content, texture, colour, and structure). Assigned teaching hours: 25 hours (2019/2020), 25 hours (2020/2021). 

Methods for the study of the natural environment. Degree in Biology (1º course). Soil mapping studies by cabinet practices (photointerpretation, analysis of the soil-forming factors and description of different types of soils) and field practices (natural environment and soil profiles description). Assigned teaching hours: 7 hours (2019/2020), 7 hours (2020/2021).
