Horacio García is a senior Lecturer in the Deparment of Geography os the University of Santiago de Compostela. Nowadays he is also the Secretary of the Centro Ibérico de Restauración Fluvial (CIREF).

His research focuses on the study of rivers and water from a diverse perspective, ranging from the field of geomorphology to eco-social impact. Under adaptive management models and progressive knowledge, he develops fluvial conservation and restoration processes that help understand and improve the relationship between river and territory (e.g., flood risks). He also uses various GIS and remote sensing techniques to monitor environmental changes in natural systems.

He is the author of several scientific contributions in high-impact international journals. He currently participates as a researcher and/or IP in state and international projects acquired in competitive competition. His teaching activity in subjects such as 'Natural Hazards', 'GIS', 'Physical Geography and Territorial Planning' or 'River Systems' and research, is combined with technical collaborations in the private sector.
