Summary

Full Professor for Stratigraphy and Carbonate Sedimentology at Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), Salvador, Brazil and fellow of the National Counsel for the Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). My main research interests are the impacts of global changes in reef ecology and coral calcification. I'm also interested in the use of corals as paleoceanographic proxies. I am the leader of the Reef and coralline ecosystems Working Group and also of the Oil spill impacts Working Group of the National Institute of Science and Technology for the Tropical Marine Environment (INCT AmbTropic).
