Physical Oceanography

Since 2012 I am part of the CO2 group of Servicio de Hidrografía Naval (SHN), first as a student and now as a research assistant. During this period I completed my grade thesis on the subject of sea-air CO2 fluxes and the PhD thesis in the study of the carbon system in the South- Western Atlantic Ocean. The PhD thesis included the data analysis of pCO2, alkalinity (TA) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and parameters derived from them (pH, Revelle factor, aragonite and calcite saturation states), and also estimated the anthropogenic carbon with 2 methods of the literature.

I participated in 4 oceanographic cruises, mainly working on taking samples and later measuring TA and DIC. I have presented works related to the subject in different national and international scientific meetings and I’m first author of an article published in Continental Shelf Research.

I work in the area of physical oceanography and marine biogeochemistry, studying in particular the carbon system in the South-Western Atlantic Ocean, with interest in ocean acidification.
