Diego Giménez is an experienced marine biologist who specializes in scientific diving and focuses on Antarctic marine ecosystems. His research primarily investigates carbon storage and sequestration in soft-bottom coastal environments. By analyzing sediment cores, Diego studies carbon dynamics in polar ecosystems, particularly in climate change, glacial retreat, and increased sedimentation from meltwater. Diego has spent several months conducting dives and lab research at the Antarctic Carlini Station, where he honed his skills by performing aquarium experiments. His work aims to deepen our understanding of the complex interactions between environmental conditions, sediment dynamics, and benthic communities. In addition to his technical expertise, Diego excels at translating complex scientific concepts into clear and engaging narratives. His passion for scientific communication helps bridge the gap between research and the general public, fostering empathy and engagement through academic conferences, public talks, and media appearances.
