Overview

Deolinda Flores is a researcher affiliated with the University of Porto in Portugal, with a focus on Environmental Science, Earth and Planetary Sciences, and Engineering. Their work is predominantly situated in the study of coal and its environmental impacts, particularly emphasizing geochemistry, pollution, and remediation techniques.

The researcher has contributed extensively to the fields of geochemistry and petrology, pollution, artificial intelligence applications, ocean engineering, and environmental chemistry. The main research topics that Flores addresses include coal and its by-products, heavy metals in the environment, geochemistry and geologic mapping, coal properties and utilization, hydrocarbon exploration and reservoir analysis, geochemistry and elemental analysis, as well as mine drainage and remediation techniques.

Flores has published several papers in well-regarded scientific venues, with frequent publications appearing in the International Journal of Coal Geology, where they have contributed to 10 papers. Other notable publication venues include Minerals, SSRN Electronic Journal, Environments, and Geosciences.

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Flores include:

  • Occurrence, leaching, and mobility of major and trace elements in a coal mining waste dump: The case of Douro Coalfield, Portugal, 2020, Energy Geoscience
  • An Integrated Multi-Approach to Environmental Monitoring of a Self-Burning Coal Waste Pile: The São Pedro da Cova Mine (Porto, Portugal) Study Case, 2021, Environments
  • Irrigation with Coal Mining Effluents: Sustainability and Water Quality Considerations (São Pedro da Cova, North Portugal), 2021, Water
  • Influence of magmatic fluids on the organic and inorganic fractions of coals from the Peñarroya-Belmez-Espiel Basin (Spain), 2021, International Journal of Coal Geology
  • Coal related fires in Portugal: New occurrences and new insights on the characterization of thermally affected and non-affected coal waste piles, 2022, International Journal of Coal Geology

Collaboration is an important aspect of Flores's research, with frequent co-authors including Joana Ribeiro, Jorge Espinha Marques, Patrícia Santos, Catarina Mansilha, and Paula Alexandra Gonçalves.

In addition to journal articles, Flores has also contributed to book publications. One known book published by CIMMYT eBooks, titled Historia de la transformación agrícola del Valle del Yaqui, Sonora. 1981-2013, was released in 2020.
