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.

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.
