Federico Torcal Medina

Federico Torcal Medina serves as a Professor in the Department of Physical, Chemical and Natural Systems at Pablo de Olavide University, specializing in Internal Geodynamics and contributing to Earth Sciences research.

He earned his Doctorate from the University of Granada in 1998 with the thesis "Probabilistic, energetic and temporal simulation of seismic series" under the supervision of Dr. Antonio M. Posadas Chinchilla.

His research spans critical Earth Science domains including:

• Seismology and probabilistic earthquake modeling
• Internal Geodynamics and tectonic processes
• Climate variability and change impacts
• Hydrological systems and relief formation

Professor Torcal Medina actively participates in the Doctoral Program for Integrated Studies in Earth Sciences, which addresses Climate Variability, Tectonics, Relief, and Hydrology. His academic supervision extends to doctoral candidates within this interdisciplinary framework, building on his foundational work in seismic series analysis.
