Bio:
Prof. Gonzalo Martinez is an Associate professor in applied physics at University of Cordoba. He teaches classical mechanics and electromagnetism in different degrees of the school of engineering in Cordoba and advanced lectures on data analysis and fate and transport of environmental pollutants. He started his research on geophysical methods to develop site specific management and then moved to the study of soil hydraulic properties characterization using soil moisture data and the fate and transport modeling of fecal indicator organisms. Combining the knowledge obtained from those different topics he is now working on the sustainable irrigation of olive orchards using saline water with the aid of water flow and solute transport modeling and artificial modification of soil hydraulic properties.
