Dr. Sandra Pérez Solsona, Scientific researcher at the Department of Environmental Chemistry at Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research IDÆA-CSIC in Barcelona (Spain). Postdoctoral researcher at State University of New York at Buffalo (2003-2005). Her work is focused on the study of occurrence, distribution, and degradation of pollutants in the aquatic and terrestrial environment. Application of advanced mass spectrometry techniques including hybrid techniques UPLC-QToF-MS and UPLC-QExactive-MS for the structural elucidation of novel transformation products and metabolites of organic pollutants LC-QqQ-MS and LC-QLIT-MS are employed for the sensitive trace determination of parent compounds and their TPs in the water cycle. Recently, she has expanded her research scope to the field of environmental fate and degradation of synthetic polymers. Her research group has experience in participating and coordinating national and international research projects funded by the European Commission, and the Spanish Government. In addition, she has contracts with public and private entities.
INWAT
Quality and management of intermittent rivers and associated groundwaters in the Mediterranean basins
The Mediterranean region is increasingly affected by water scarcity because of rising demand (population growth and land-use changes) and decreasing availability (cimate change led rainfall decreases). This situation leads to more temporary waterways. INWAT will develop and improve tools to analyze, understand and predict hydrology, chemical and ecological status, and services in the Mediterranean area characterized by temporary waterways, and will integrate all these pieces in a decision-support system.

CICLIC
Developing an innovative toolbox for pollutant monitoring and risk assessment to human health
CICLIC proposes an innovative toolbox to monitor the environmental fate of contaminants and to assess their risks to human health and ecosystems in the current climate change scenario. This toolbox will be developed and tested on highly biodiverse areas, in wetlands, and will include massive data analysis, contaminant monitoring and analytical techniques, wastewater reuse and analysis, metabolomics, environmental and ecological modelling, ecotoxicological tools, and ecosystem vulnerability and resilience analysis.
