Ocean Lab (IITAA)

About Us

Lab Ocean is part of the Institute of Agricultural and Environmental Research and Technology (IITAA) of the University of the Azores. It is dedicated to state-of-the-art research on effects of global change and carbon removal strategies on marine microbes, and their interactions. Our team combines in situ with laboratory experiments, always searching for the next question.

I use remote sensing to investigate phytoplankton dynamics in the Azores region, exploring their role in ocean–atmosphere carbon dioxide exchange and how this system has evolved over recent decades with climate change.
