Research Interests
The main research interests are marine ecology, small scale fisheries, biodiversity and paleoceanography. My topics are always focusing on ecological statistics applications, namely spatio-temporal analysis (including geostatistics), geometric morphometrics (shape analysis) and in the relationship with oceanographic/environmental variables (satelite and climatic data).
Research on spatial indicators for the European Marine Strategy Framework (IFREMER, Nantes).
Teaching
Research project on teaching statistics to environmental scientists, using construcionism theories (Autonomous University of Mexico, Sisal).
Outreach activity
Coordination of the outreach programme 'Mar dos Pequeninos' (IPMA-Escolas), dedicated to first grade students.
