Antonio is a Soil Science professor at the Faculty of Biology of the University of Santiago de Compostela and research coordinator in the Earth System Science (ES2) group. His work focuses on the application of environmental geochemistry to characterise the functioning and storage capacity of past environmental changes in ecosystems, with particular interest in the impact of human activities from prehistory to the present.
