Barbara
Senior Geophysical and Ecology Specialist
Since my graduation in Marine Sciences, I got involved in several subjects related with oceanography. Those experiences taught me the importance of having different perspectives and to link the knowledge from different disciplines in solving problems.
My PhD on the interactions between salt marsh vegetation and sediment dynamics got me to discover amazing systems where living organisms, perfectly adapted to such harsh conditions, have key roles in maintaining our environmental equilibrium. I have since then considered intertidal habitats my centre of interest both in science and for the personal pleasure of observing.
By joining HAEDES, I aim to put at use my skills to connect the physical environment with its ecological significance and hence contribute to finding balanced solutions between nature and human activities.
