I grew up and studied in Barcelona, Spain, although I spent a fair amount of time in Australia during my undergrad and PhD. There, I discovered my fascination for marine sciences and decided to pursue a career on this field. I am interested in carbon biogeochemical cycling, ecosystems dynamics and the use of radionuclides and tracers in environmental records/materials to study present, past and future processes related to climate change. My research focuses in understanding the capacity of Blue Carbon ecosystems in storing carbon at different time scales and under different conservation status. Currently, I am a NOAA Climate and Global Change post-doctoral fellow at the Berkeley Biometeorology Lab (UCB) and Biogeochemistry lab (UCSC). I study the balance between carbon burial, carbon emissions and lateral export in different wetland types as well as the processes that control soil organic matter decomposition and associated CO2 and CH4 emissions.
