Isidro A. Pérez is Associate Professor of Applied Physics at the University of Valladolid. His scientific career began with measurement and modelling of photochemical oxidants. The following research line was the management of RASS sodar data, which led to different papers. This device analyses the low boundary layer beyond the heights investigated by any meteorological tower. After that, CO2 concentrations were studied at a rural site and several papers that combined RASS sodar observations with concentrations measured present the results of this research. Moreover, parametric and nonparametric procedures were used to investigate the daily and annual cycles of greenhouse gases. The analysis of air parcel trajectories was later considered and the contrast between Atlantic and continental trajectories was observed on the greenhouse gas concentration recorded. Finally, his research is oriented towards the trend determination by parametric and nonparametric procedures and the origin of greenhouse gas outliers and their influence on this trend.

As a citizen of Gabon, I hold a Scientific Baccalaureate (Series D), a Bachelor’s degree in General Biology and Earth Sciences, a Research Master’s in Wood Sciences, and a Ph.D. in Wood Sciences, obtained respectively at Jean Baptiste ADIWA High School (2007), the University of Science and Technology of Masuku (2012), the National School of Water and Forests (2015), and the University of Lorraine in France (2020). Then, as a research associate at the Institute for Agricultural and Forestry Research (IRAF)/CENAREST, I am developing new knowledge on the ecophysiology of mangroves exposed to mineral and organic pollution, as well as techniques for restoring them.  I have four (4) publications and one (1) book chapter, three of which have been published in indexed journals.  I won two awards in 2019 in France and in 2024 in Dubai, demonstrating the impact of pollution on the properties of Avicennia germinans mangrove wood. I have also participated in the evaluation of two scientific articles in two international journals, namely the Asian Journal of Environment and Ecology and the Journal of Geoscience and Environment Protection. I teach wood science at the National School of Water and Forests of Gabon and supervise undergraduate and graduate students working on topics related to the technological properties of wood in general and mangroves in particular. Finally, I also consult for NGOs involved in the preservation and restoration of mangrove ecosystems. I have also participated in the authorization of mangrove-related projects.
