Undergraduate student EstefanÃa is an assistant researcher at the Argentine Hydrographic Service (SHN) of the Argentine Navy. She is involved in projects that investigate harmful algal blooms and the Yaganes Marine Protected Area, located south of Tierra del Fuego Province, Argentina, using satellite data.
Currently, as a Physical Oceanography student at the University of Buenos Aires, she is working on her undergraduate thesis, which focuses on the influence of submarine canyons and related oceanographic parameters on zooplankton distribution, particularly in the Sloggett Canyon within the Yaganes area. Her research combines in-situ measurements with satellite data.
The upcoming Falkor (too) expedition, ‘A Tale of Two Submarine Canyons’ will be her first research cruise. She is excited to join the science team and contribute to CTD data collection.
