Personal profile
About Me
Our group is a research team that focuses on studying marine environments along the continental shelf, from various shallow regions, through the mesophotic zone to the deep seas. Its goal is to distinguish between natural and human-induced environmental disturbances in the past, present, and future and to increase knowledge of the ecological and anthropogenic impacts on space, depth, and time. The laboratory provides a comprehensive review of the theoretical, practical, and applied aspects of the dynamics of marine ecosystems and related environments.
