The transversality of this project advises the participation of two principal investigators to undertake all the proposed tasks: Almudena Ordóñez research profile is related to Hydrogeology, whereas Rodrigo Álvarez is an expert in mineral solid characterization; therefore, they are in charge of the specific objectives according to their respective fields of expertise. Researchers from the University of Oviedo/Universidad Politécnica de Madrid belong to three different areas of knowledge: Mineral investigation and prospecting, Cartographical engineering and Zoology.
In addition, experts in Environmental geochemistry from the University of Trieste (Italy) and in aquatic sedimentology (University of Coventry (UK)) complete the research and the work team.
