In the year 2008, Salvador graduated with honors (national prize of the MINECO and extraordinary prize from the University of Murcia) in Geography at the University of Murcia. In 2009, he was awarded a predoctoral fellowship from the Seneca Foundation (Agency of Science and Technology of the Region of Murcia). Since then, his research and teaching activity has focused on historical climatology and the study of the adaptation of societies to extreme weather events in the last 500 years. Since 2010, he has been teaching at the University of Murcia, in key subjects of Geography such as: Territorial Planning, Territorial Planning, Cartography and Climatology. At the same time, he completed three predoctoral stays, the first one in 2010 (three months) at the Center for Research in Earth Sciences (CICTERRA, CONICET-UNC, Córdoba, Argentina). The second one during 2011 (three months) at the Argentine Institute of Nivology, Glaciology and Environmental Sciences (IANIGLA, Mendoza, Argentina). Finally, during 2012 (four months) he returned to the IANIGLA for the improvement of paleoclimatic techniques and mathematical calibration of climate series. Between November 2014 and December 2017 he worked as an assistant researcher in the Department of Economics at Yale University, being the research topics during this time focused on the study of the influence of climate in the societies of the Southeastern Spain. Between January and June of 2018 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Sorbonne University, in a project on adaptation to climate change in the olive grove of the Sierra Mágina (Jaén Province, Spain). Since June 2018, he works as a postdoctoral researcher at the Geography Department of the University of Alicante.
