Biography
Paula F Ávila pursued her PhD in Environmental Geochemistry; Master's Degree in Geochemistry and a Degree in Geological Engineering. She is a Researcher at the Mineral Science and Technology Unit of the National Laboratory of Energy and Geology (Portugal) since 1993. Her areas of research interest include environmental geochemistry and environmental mineralogy; risk analysis associated with diffuse and/or catastrophic mining contamination, medical geology and human health implications, degraded soil remediation methods including phytoremediation; geochemistry applied to mining; ore mineralogy; minerals and their intergrowth; methods of geochemical analysis; statistical methods applied to geochemical data; development of diffuse and catastrophic contamination modeling methodologies, based on the chemical forms of the trace elements and metalloids, their bioavailability, mobility and reactivity in the different sub-areas of the geosystem.
