Activities
Currently I am developing my PhD Thesis, intitled "Harmful Algal Blooms
in the Ria Formosa coastal lagoon: deciphering the relevance of natural and
anthropogenic eutrophication."
I am now regularly monitoring phytoplanktonic community in my reseach area and also conducting several microcosms experiences with this community.
Main interests at the moment relate to phytoplankton (particularly HABs) and eutrophication.
Skills
- Identification/enumeration of marine and freshwater phytoplankton, using both epifluorescence and inverted microscopy
- Enumeration of bacterioplankton (epifluorescence microscopy)
- Nutrient analysis using spectrophotometric methods
- Data analysis using several statistical tools (e.g. SPSS)
- Qualified Scuba Diver (PADI and GUE)
- Experienced aquarist (closed water systems)
- Previous work as an environmental educator
