Juan Lopez Bedoya

Juan Lopez Bedoya is a Researcher at the Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, affiliated with the Interuniversity Research Center for Atlantic Cultural Landscapes (CISPAC). He holds a doctoral degree from the National University of Cuyo (2021) with a thesis focused on geomorphological heritage in Galicia. His work integrates environmental science, geomorphology, and cultural heritage management.

Research Interests: Juan's research focuses on geomorphological processes in diverse environments, including periglacial dynamics in the Andes, coastal morphology in Galicia, and the application of geographic technologies for heritage preservation. His studies emphasize cryoplanation terraces, ephemeral landforms, and the interplay between physical landscapes and human activities.

Key Collaboration: He is part of the GEMAP research group, which applies environmental studies to cultural heritage conservation. His projects include the GEOSAP initiative mapping cryogenic features in subantarctic regions.

Publications: Over 20 peer-reviewed articles since 2009, with recent work addressing postglacial cryoplanation in the Fuegian Andes and the role of boulders in coastal geomorphology. His 2021 thesis methodology has become a benchmark for assessing geomorphological heritage.

Awards: No scientific awards explicitly mentioned, though his contributions to cultural landscape studies are recognized in academic networks.
