Career

I am an oceanographer (PhD) with a special interest in solving scientific and environmental issues through building bridges between science, society and politics. I am passionate about social communication of global change, the biggest challenge for humankind, and committed to its understanding and fight. I am firmly convinced that scientists must play an essential role in the current context of global change in terms of advising, communication and policy/politics. Therefore, it is vital to connect science, politics and society to fight climate change, as well as mitigating its effects and adapting to the present and future environmental conditions.
