Research in Biological and Ecological processes in aquatic ecosystems, with emphasis on estuaries and coastal areas (biodiversity and quality assessment):
- Evaluation of water and environmental quality (development of assessment indices for WFD and MSFD implementation);
- Communities structure and functioning; Populations biology and dynamics of benthic macroinvertebrates and primary producers (macroalgae and seagrasses);
- Coastal adaptation to climate change;
- Nature-based Solutions
