ERNESTINA BADAL GARCIA

Ernestina Badal García is a Professor in the Department of Pre, Ar and Hi at the Faculty of Geography and History, Universitat de València. She is a member of the PREMEDOC research group, focusing on the Prehistory of the Western Mediterranean.

Her research centers on reconstructing past environments through anthracology and archaeobotanical analysis, particularly in Mediterranean regions during the Late Quaternary. She investigates vegetation dynamics, human impact on landscapes, and climate interactions in prehistoric times.

Her doctoral work at the Universitat de València examined charcoal evidence to understand plant landscape evolution between 18,000 and 3,000 years ago along the Spanish Mediterranean coast. This foundational research continues to inform her contributions to environmental archaeology.

She collaborates within the PREMEDOC group on projects related to Western Mediterranean prehistory, contributing expertise in paleoenvironmental data interpretation. While no specific scientific awards are listed, her long-standing academic position and research activity reflect recognition in her field.

She has advised doctoral research, including her own thesis under the supervision of Dr. Joan Bernabeu Aubán and Dr. Jean Louis Vernet, though current advisees are not specified. Her work is embedded in interdisciplinary teams focusing on prehistoric human-environment interactions.
