Diego García Díaz

I hold a BSc in Geography, am a Specialist in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing, and have an MSc in Spatial Planning and Local Development. I am currently Head of the GIS and Remote Sensing Laboratory at the Doñana Biological Station (LAST-EBD, CSIC), where I develop and maintain remote sensing-based monitoring systems for the Doñana Natural Area.

My work focuses on building automated and reproducible workflows for processing long-term satellite image time series (Landsat and Sentinel-2), LiDAR data, and aerial orthophotography. I design and maintain Python-based workflows to process, analyze, and visualize large volumes of geospatial data in a reproducible and scalable way. A significant part of my research focuses on hydrological dynamics—particularly flood monitoring and hydroperiod estimation—as well as phenology and coastal geomorphology studies.

I also enjoy developing tools that make remote sensing workflows more robust and reusable. I am the author of several open-source geospatial analysis tools, including Ndvi2Gif, ProtocoloV2, PyVPP, and phydroperiod. I am currently pursuing my PhD, where I apply these developments to the operational monitoring of climate change indicators in Doñana, with a particular focus on flood monitoring, coastal dynamics, and climate data.

PhD Thesis: A methodological framework for monitoring climate change indicators in the Doñana Natural Area through multiscale remote sensing
