Natalia Moreno Palmerola

I am a Tenured Scientist at CSIC and Head of the X-Ray Laboratory at IDAEA-CSIC, where I lead research in environmental mineralogy and advanced X-ray analytical techniques. My work focuses on mineral transformations, phase stability, and contaminant mobility in soil–atmosphere–water systems, with applications in air quality, particulate matter characterization, industrial emissions, waste valorisation, and circular economy strategies. I promote the use of XRD and EDXRF facilities for research, innovation, knowledge transfer, and evidence-based environmental solutions.
