Ana Entrena Francia

Dr. Ana Entrena Francia is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) under the prestigious Beatriu de Pinós fellowship, actively contributing to the Earth Science (GEOKARST) R+D+I Group. She teaches across multiple academic programs including Biology, Mathematics, and Food and Agriculture Engineering degrees, demonstrating interdisciplinary engagement in Earth Sciences education.

Her research focuses on specialized geological domains with emphasis on:

• Karst systems and landscape formation (core to GEOKARST group)
• Earth's evolutionary history and paleoenvironments
• Geological-climatological interactions in physical environments
• Applied geology in agricultural and rural contexts

Recognized with the competitive Beatriu de Pinós Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Catalan government, her work bridges fundamental Earth Science research with practical environmental applications. Current teaching responsibilities include Geology, History of the Earth and Life, and Physical Environment: Geology and Climatology courses where she maintains structured office hours requiring student appointments.

Based in office 21 (first floor) at UIB, she represents early-career academic excellence in Mediterranean Earth Sciences research while supporting undergraduate education through dedicated teaching across STEM disciplines.
