CAREER PATH
Dr. in Natural Sciences Rodolfo Coria, speaker at the conference, is Emeritus Director of the Carmen Funes Museum (Plaza Huincul-Neuquén), Director of the Paleontology Degree at the National University of Río Negro, and a regular Associate Professor at said higher education institution.
Among some of Dr. Coria's investigative works, the following stand out: he has named almost 20 species of dinosaurs, 14 of them as lead author (including Argentinosaurus huinculensis); the Giganotosaurus Carolinii; the largest dinosaur egg nesting site in the world, where the first sauropod dinosaur embryos and the first discovery of embryonic dinosaur skin were also found; and, in turn, the discovery of Mapusaurus roseae, with the only monospecific deposit of carnivorous dinosaurs recorded in the Southern Hemisphere.
His paleontological rescue campaigns and research have led him to travel across Argentine continental soil, and have taken him 8 times to Antarctica and to countries such as Canada, the USA, and Mongolia.
In recognition of his scientific contribution, he has been the recipient of several awards and distinctions, among which stands out having been included by TIME magazine, in 1999, as one of the 50 American Leaders for the New Millennium. In the years 2004-2005, he held the Presidency of the Argentine Paleontological Association. In 2019, he was recognized with the Honorary Mention for Scientific Merit by the Science and Technology Commission of the National Senate, among others.
