Subject Area
Biological Oceanography, Marine Ecology
Physical Oceanography
Activities
Study of phytoplankton variability patterns, phenology, drivers and predictors, combining in situ observations, remote sensing, and models.
Also, I'm currently working on coastal dynamics, assessing and comparing the geomorphic evolution of various landforms across different regions, through the use of hypsometric curves.
