Adriana Sánchez Morán

Degree in Geology in 2007 and Geological Engineer in 2012 in the University of Oviedo. She was awarded with the final year prize and special distinction. She has 6 years of experience in geology and hydrogeology.

From 2011 to 2012, she carried out her Final Year Project for the title of Geological Engineer in the Hydro-Geophysics and NDT Modelling Unit, titled:

“Numerical modelling with Finite Element Method of the extraction of a fluid from a coal bed and its related gravimetric anomaly using COMSOL Multiphysics”.

In this research work the groundwater flow equation is coupled with the Poisson’s equation of gravimetric potential, allowing a geophysical control of the pressure induced variations. The work was presented in the  7ª Asamblea Hispano-Portuguesa de Geodesia y Geofísica celebrated in San Sebastian in 2012.

She lives now in Santiago (Chile) where she works as Hydrogeologist for Amphos 21.
