Welcome to my web site!
I am a physicist interested in the reconstruction of solar activity and Earth climate during the last centuries from documentary sources. I am also interested in the history of the geo- and space sciences. I teach at the Physics Department of the University of Extremadura (Faculty of Sciences, Badajoz, Spain).
