Isabel Mendes hold a fixed-term contract equivalent to Assistant Researcher, at the Centre for Marine and Environmental Research (CIMA) - University of Algarve. She has a degree in Marine Biology (field: Marine Ecology) and a Ph.D. in Marine Sciences (field: Oceanography). During the last years, she has been devoted to understanding the present and past environmental conditions that occurred in coastal areas from the southern Iberian Peninsula, at different temporal scales, related to climatic variability and anthropogenic impacts. She is also contributing to defining measures for mitigating climate change by evaluating the potential benefits and risks of alkalinity enhancement in intertidal environments. Benchmarking results of her work were published in book chapters, papers in high-impact journals, and disseminated through communications on conferences. She collaborated with more than 100 researchers in co-authoring scientific publications. She is the principal researcher in one FCT project with German institutions and researcher in several other national and international projects (Spain, Germany). She participated in fieldwork campaigns and oceanographic research cruises. She is a reviewer for relevant journals in his area of expertise. Since 2019, she is also an invited teacher at the University of Algarve, in the areas of climate changes impact and biogeochemistry, and since 2021 elected member of the General Council of the University of Algarve, representative of Researchers.
