He received his PhD in 2007 from the Autonomous University, Madrid (UAM), summa cum laude, with a dissertation entitled “The evolution of the forest landscape on the Segovian side of the Guadarrama Mountains” (La evolución del paisaje forestal en la vertiente segoviana de la Sierra de Guadarrama). He has conducted international research at the Laboratoire Géographie de l´Environnement (Toulouse, France) and the City and Regional Planning Institute (Cardiff University, UK).

Dr Madrazo joined the teaching staff of the Department of Regional Geographical Analysis and Physical Geography at the UCM in 2008, and currently teaches undergraduate and Master’s programmes.

He has also taken part in research projects and is currently doing research into the history and geography of forest landscapes in the Sierra de Guadarrama, the energy and impact of Madrid on its territory (16th – 20th centuries), the patrimonial landscapes of the southern meseta and historical forest fires, within the framework of the National Plan for R&D+i, and also in the EU scientific cooperation networks (ERANET).

Research interests:

  • Forest Geography and History: Forest landscape dynamics in the Central System mountains, Spain; land tenure; commons; forest policy and land use planning.
  • Environmental History: Energy and territory in Madrid, 18th-19th centuries.
  • Cultural landscapes, heritage, territorial policies and governance systems.
