I am a Marine Biologist, with MSc in Marine Ecology and Systematics, and PhD in Marine Ecology. Most of my work since 1997 has focussed on community ecology of tropical environments (coral reefs, seagrass meadows, rocky shores and interactions with mangroves and sandy beaches).

 

Between 1995 and 2003 I was part of 5 research Projects in Colombia funded by COLCIENCIAS (Ecologia pesquera-1996, Areas Coralinas Fase 1-1997, Areas Coralinas Fase 2-1998 to 2000, coordinator macrofauna in project Fanerogamas Caribe Colombiano-2001-2002, coordinator project Gorgona Fase 3-2001-2002). I have also been collaborator for projects in the Caribbean (INVEMAR Colombia-STRI Panama: use of Siderastrea siderea as proxy of connectivity for the wider Caribbean, coordinator in Colombia 2001-2002), and the Tropical Eastern Pacific-TEP (Heriot-Watt University-STRI-Darwin Initiative: Marine biodiversity assessment and development in Las Perlas Archipelago, Panama 2003-2007). During my PhD I worked on two basic topics: connectivity and proxy indictors of climate change in the TEP.

 

Since 2003, I have also been learning about marine environments in the UK and Mediterranean Sea, either as a researcher (i.e. Heriot-Watt University-DEFRA: Biotope mapping and site condition monitoring in Sullom Voe, Shetland, Special Area of Conservation) or lecturer (i.e. annual field work to Morecambe Bay and Knoydart as part of Lancaster University/B & F College BSc-Hons in Marine Biology and Coastal Zone Management). My training on temperate environments has opened my eyes to community ecology comparisons between temperate and tropical environments. My personal research is taking me now into fascinating questions regarding conservation biology, MPAs, connectivity, and gene expression under climate change-ocean acidification.
