Climate change mitigation Measurement of N2O

Biography

I have a degree in Cs. Biology and PhD in Cs. Agrarian. I am a university professor and INTA - CONICET 
researcher, Specialist in measurements of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) from soils. I began my research activities
 in 2008 working on GHG measurement from agricultural soils. I have developed activities in agricultural, 
livestock and forestry soils, and in soils with the application of organic amendments. Currently, I focus 
on generating productive management alternatives aimed at maximizing efficiency in the use of organic 
fertilizers and minimizing nitrogen losses to the environment. I have supervised 3 undergraduate theses, 
participated as a jury in a master's thesis, reviewed national and international research projects and 
provided training in courses and workshops. I currently have 13 publications in refereed journals 
(11 international), 6 book chapters (3 international), more than 60 works presented at conferences 
and dissemination. In 2019 I was invited to the “17th Expert Meeting on Data for the IPCC Emission 
Factor Database”.
