Resumo da atividade

Afonso Ferreira, PhD (Marine Sciences, University of Lisbon; 2024), combines ocean‑colour satellite and in‑situ data from the Portuguese coast to Antarctica, aiming to understand phytoplankton responses to climate change and their implications for the oceans. Afonso has contributed to 12 + national and international projects, participated in four Antarctic campaigns, authored 20 + papers, earned a Fulbright Research Scholarship (2022), and served as Invited Assistant Professor at FCUL (2023).
