San Juan, San Juan, Argentina
Hydrogeochemical analysis and modeling: PHREEQC, Piper diagrams, and groundwater quality assessment. Hydrogeological monitoring: measurement of groundwater levels, pressure, and temperature with Data Logger and WINSITU; pumping and packer tests; sampling with Hydrasleeve and bailer under QA/QC protocols. Environmental and meteorological monitoring: installation and supervision of meteorological stations; data download and processing with WeatherLink and LogTag Analyzer; integration of meteorological variables into water balance studies. Mining environmental management: drafting, review, and updating of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA); follow-up of files; institutional technical representation. Cartography and spatial analysis: development of thematic and environmental maps using GIS (QGIS). Field campaigns: availability for groundwater and natural spring (outcrop) sampling campaigns; technical supervision of drilling; geological logging of drill cores. Training and community projects: technical talks, workshops, and productive initiatives aimed at the sustainable management of water resources and strengthening of local capacities.
Supervisión de perforaciones orientadas (diamond drilling) en campaña geotécnica. Ejecución y control de ensayos de permeabilidad in situ (Lefranc y Lugeon). Registro geológico y geotécnico de testigos orientados, medición de orientaciones de discontinuidades mediante parámetros Alfa-Beta y caracterización estructural del macizo rocoso.

Supervised and measured groundwater levels at the Arizaro Project. Collected brine samples using Packer tests, pumping tests, Hydrasleeve, and Bailer methods. Conducted aquifer characterization tests, core and cutting logging. Supervised rotary and diamond drilling platforms. Contributed to lithium exploration in the area. Interpreted hydrogeological data to understand aquifer dynamics. Coordinated site opening/closure and supervised contractor personnel. Used Data Logger and WINSITU software to monitor pressure, temperature, and water level changes. Prepared daily reports, created maps with QGIS, managed equipment inventory using Bejerman software.
