<p class="lead mb-5">In 2022, I graduated as a PhD in Marine Science and Mathematics at the University of Otago and the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research <a href="https://niwa.co.nz/coasts-and-oceans/research-projects">(NIWA)</a>. My PhD focuses on understanding drivers of variability in the East Auckland Current (EAuC) and its impact on the shelf-slope connectivity and carbon export. I hold an MSc and BSc degree in Physical Oceanography from the Federal University of Bahia, Brazil. </p>

<p class="mb-2"></p> <b> Thesis motivation and project </b>
<p class="mb-0"></p>Understanding spatial and temporal variability in the ocean is crucial for successful management of the marine environment. This is particularly so in the New Zealand region, as it is one of the largest exclusive economic zones in the globe and has numerous social and industrial activities concentrated over the continental shelf (Zeldis et al., 2004). The East Auckland Current (EAUC) is a large scale boundary current adjacent to the New Zealand northeastern continental shelf. Despite its regional importance, the drivers of oscillations in the EAUC are not well understood. In this project, a data-assimilative numerical modelling study will be undertaken to evaluate and understand the dominant mechanisms that control the EAUC variability and its influence on the continental shelf circulation and water properties (e.g. temperature, salinity, and chlorophyll). To improve simulations over the New Zealand northeastern continental shelf, a methodology will be developed to assimilate observations from an autonomous ocean glider. This knowledge is of utmost importance for coastal management as physical processes can greatly influence marine ecosystem variability (Zeldis et al., 2004).</p>
<p class="mb-0"></p>The first chapter of my thesis is summarised in the article "Mesoscale and wind‑driven intra‑annual variability in the East Auckland Current" freely available at https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-89222-3 . It tells about a 1 year in the life of the EAuC. There we saw that mesoscale eddies (ocean cylinders of 100 km diameter) dominated that circulation for 260 and the EAuC was present for 110 days. Winds played an import role by adding variability shorter than 30 days in the velocities and temeprature. </p>
<p class="mb-0"></p>Despite all the findings, surface and in situ observations are enough to understand the full dynamics of the region. That's why we use numerical models that can provide us with hourly 3D pictures of the oceans. In the figure below, we compare results from a model and observations from satellites and moorred instruments. We can see that the model does a good job when we have the EAuC (15/07 to 02/11) and large mesoscale eddies around but it lacks quality when smaller eddies are passing by. Therefore, the next step of my project is to assimilate satellite-derived and in situ observations to contrains the model closer to values that are observed. This processed is called data assimilation and considers both model error and representativeness errors present in the observations.</p>

<p>Theoretical Ecology. Applied Mathematics in Ecology. Science Popularization </p>
<p> If you can't find me in the lab, that's surely because I'm enjoying the outdoors. You can find me most of the time along the coast surfing or snorkelling. If I'm not there as well, you probably should try by the mountains where I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking or camping. Yep I'm living the dream in NZ!</p>
<p class="mb-0">When forced indoors by the weather, I enjoy reading books/magazines or watching docos about everything that makes me learn about anything. I guess being curious in Science is very important, but being curious in Life is even more important and needed.</p>
<p class="mb-0">If I'm not in the lab or on the outdoors, I'm obviously with friends or other Sapiens fellows doing a social activity like drinking beers or chating about everything chatable. I guess it's important to have a good time together while we're here, so I'm looking forward meeting you!</p>

<div> Project: Seaside Site SEALection </div>
<div> Our project is a coastal classification tool that automatically identifies appropriate seal habitat using very high resolution satellite imagery. The application displays an “attractiveness” score for each site on the image, which takes into consideration landscape features such as distance from cliffs and beach surface area, as well as historical presence/absence of seals at that site. The user will also add to the validity of the application by feeding in additional observation data, opening it to citizen science application.</div>
