2022/06 - 2022/11 | MARE@Desertas-2022 was a multidisciplinary expedition with the objective of coastal community characterisation based on intertidal community assessments, remote videos, underwater visual census and scientific diving. My role was in scientific dive operations. | |
2020/10/11 - 2020/10/17 | Expedição científica MARE@Porto Santo 2020, organizada pelo MARE - Centro de ciências do Mar e do Ambiente, polo da Madeira. Esta expedição teve o apoio do Governo regional da Madeira através da Direção Regional do Mar, e da fundação Rebikoff-Niggeler. Estiveram na ilha três dezenas de investigadores de sete nacionalidades, com ROV, Drones e o submarino LULA 1000, para fazer uma caracterização da biodiversidade marinha nesta ilha da costa aos 500 m de profundidade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBBaMOvJ4so |
