Maria Milagros Navarro Gonzalez

Maria Milagros Navarro Gonzalez serves as an Associate Professor in the Chemistry Department at the Higher Polytechnic School of the University of Burgos, Spain, specializing in Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry within the UBUCOMP Composting research group.

Education

• Doctorate from the University of Burgos (2002) with thesis: "Uso agrícola de lodos de edar nuevos tratamientos de descontaminación química como aproximación en los criterios actuales de salud del suelo" (Agricultural use of sewage sludge: new chemical decontamination treatments as an approach to current soil health criteria), supervised by Dr. Salvador González-Carcedo.

Research Focus

Her work centers on soil remediation techniques and sustainable agricultural practices, particularly investigating chemical decontamination methods for sewage sludge to enhance soil health. Through the UBUCOMP Composting group, she explores organic waste valorization via composting technologies to improve soil fertility and reduce environmental contamination risks.

Research Infrastructure

As an active member of the UBUCOMP Composting research group, she contributes to interdisciplinary projects focused on developing practical composting applications for agricultural soil restoration and circular economy models in waste management.
