IGME-CSIC The Spanish Geological and Mining Institute -Spanish National Research Council
Madrid, Ríos Rosas 23, Spain
The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) is the largest public research institution in Spain and one of the most renowned institutions in the European Research Area (ERA). It is affiliated to the Ministry of Science and Innovation through the Secretary General for Research. IGME is the Spanish Geological and Mining institute, an institute embedded into CSIC.
The main mission of IGME is to provide the State Administration, the Autonomous Regions Administrations and the general society, with precise knowledge and information regarding the Earth Sciences and related technologies for any development on the Spanish territory.
The functions of IGME are:
Studies, analysis and research in the field of Earth Sciences and Technologies.
Generation of basic scientific knowledge.
Information, technical-scientific assistance and advice to public administrations, economic agents and society in general, concerning geology, hydrogeology, geoenvironmental sciences, geological resources and minerals.
Interdisciplinary relations with other areas of knowledge, contributing to the best understanding of the territory and of the processes that form and modify it, to the sustainable use of its resources and the conservation of the geological and hydrogeological heritage.

About supervisors
- Javier Gonzalez has 20 years´ experience from the Geological Survey of Spain (IGME-CSIC). PhD in geology, mineralogy and geochemistry of seabed ferromanganese deposits. He has been coordinator of the H2020 GeoERA-MINDeSEA project, mapping the metallogeny and critical raw materials potential of seabed minerals in pan-European seas. Since 2004, he collaborates with a number of research institutions on several projects in the Iberian continental margins, Canary Islands, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Baltic Sea, South China Sea, Cocos-Nazca Ridge and South Shetland Islands and Scotia Sea (Antarctica). Oriented to national and international career with responsibility for marine minerals mapping and research in the framework of Europe, Iberoamerican countries and the International Seabed Authority. His main research interests include marine mineral deposits, critical raw materials, sustainability and energy transition. // Esther Santofimia is PhD in Geological Sciences (UCM). During 20 years, she has working in Instituto Geológico y Minero de España (IGME-CSIC). She is specialized in mine waters and limnology. Since 2013 she is collaborating in Marine Geology, studying geobiochemical processes of hydrothermal vents, in the search for critical elements of high economic interest. She has participated in several oceanographic campaigns (Antarctica, Canary Islands and in the Atlantic ridge and Azores). Hers research experience is developed in the characterization of pollutants in acid mine drainages (AMDs), studying waters quality, quantifying affected rivers, natural attenuation in streams and rivers, the characterization of source areas where are generated AMDs and their relation with climatic parameters, and studies of precipitates. This line of research include, remediation, critical raw materials and biomining. // Juan López Vinielles is a researcher at the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (CN IGME-CSIC). He graduated in Geological Engineering in 2014 from the School of Mines of Madrid (ETSIME UPM) and obtained a Master's degree in Mining Engineering from ESTIME UPM in 2016. In 2017, he worked for FCC (a Spanish civil engineering company) in Saudi Arabia, and later in 2018, he joined CN IGME-CSIC. In June 2022, he defended his thesis, which focused on the application of satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) techniques to the study of ground movements induced by mining. // Roberto Sarro Trigueros is a Mining Engineer from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (2009), and PhD in Engineering of Materials, Structures and Land program: Sustainable Construction, at the University of Alicante, Spain, (2019). His professional career has been entirely in the field of R&D, both in the Public Administration and private sector. He has been working in companies as FCC Construction, Ayming Group and Novain Business Consulting, for 4 years doing not only scientific research but also administrative tasks such as proposal preparation and financial management of international (EU and Latin America) and national R&D projects. Since 2011, he works as researcher at Geological Survey of Spain (IGME-CSIC) and his main research interests include: 3D rockfall modelling, statistical analysis to geohazard assessment, and the use of remote sensing techniques (UAV) for evaluation of the impact of geohazards in urban areas.
