Returning to Spain in 1974, she worked under a PFPI pre-doctoral grant at the Lucas Mallada Institute at the Complutense University, obtaining a Doctorate of Science in Geology in 1977.

She later moved back to her alma mater of UCM as a Numerary Associate Professor, and was awarded a Cátedra (a professorship position) in Paleontology in 1983.

They varied in their field as well as publication material, but she is widely acknowledged as a part of UCM faculty with some of the biggest impacts on the academic development of paleontological studies in the Spanish sphere.

[3] Research conducted as part of the project led to multiple publications in paleontology, with the year 2000 being especially prolific with 10 papers accepted by the journal Colloquios de Paleontologia.

Over the following years, the taxodermic discoveries of the project were mostly analyzed and understood as the publications slowed, yet more than 30 papers were published to date and sampling is continued to be held.
