Pol HernÁndez Gatell
PhD student – Predoc UB
I am a marine scientist passionate about marine ecology, specifically the benthic ecology of coastal environments. Currently, I am working as a predoctoral researcher under the supervision of Aurora M Ricart (ICM-CSIC) and Cristina Linares (University of Barcelona). My PhD thesis focuses on evaluating the ability of coastal ecosystems to serve as refuges against the pressures of climate change.

Sinéad Cahill pasquina
PhD student – JAE PRE
I am a PhD candidate passionate about marine ecology, biodiversity, seagrass, and conservation. My general interest is to understand the dynamics of seagrass ecosystems and how these respond to different human-induced pressures in order to help contribute to the creation of better management and conservation policies. During my master’s thesis, I worked on evaluating the ability of Mediterranean seagrass Posidonia oceanica to locally mitigate the effects of ocean acidification through a mesocosms experiment. Now, through the course of my PhD, I hope to deepen my knowledge on how macrophytes interact and modulate the surrounding biogeochemistry to better understand how we can use these ecosystems as nature-based solutions against global change.
