I am a biologist holding a PhD in Oceanography. My expertise is to use multivariate tests and computational science to evaluate: 1) the impacts of human drivers, such as marine pollution (especially microplastics) and climate change, on marine ecosystems and fishery resources; 2) ecological niche changes throughout the ontogeny of estuarine and marine species at spatial and seasonal scales; 3) predictions of species distribution in climate change scenarios; 4) experimental simulations of the effects of climate change on the physiology and ecology of fishes; and 5) marine spatial planning.
