Short CV

I am a Colombian PhD candidate in Geosciences at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) in Brazil and an early-career member of the GEO AquaWatch initiative. I investigate coastal and marine processes using Earth-observation techniques at the Centre for Coastal and Oceanic Geology Studies at UFRGS. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Geological Engineering and an M.Sc. in Coastal and Marine Geology. My current research focuses on sediment transport and water quality dynamics in coastal environments, with an emphasis on the effects of human activities and climate change on aquatic systems.
