Activity summary

Marine geologist and micropaleontologist with a multidisciplinary profile and expertise in coccolithophore signatures from sediments and water column in present-day marginal to open-ocean environments, and its application as a tool to unravel (paleo)environmental variability. Currently leads the CEECIND-FCT Project CHASE (CHASing the environmental Effects of dust deposition across the Atlantic and Southern Ocean: a coccolithophore perspective) at MARE-UL (70%) and Instituto Dom Luiz (30%).
