The exchange of experiences and collaborations are a fundamental and often very inspiring pillar in science. And this is how we start this new year 2022: with a visit full of interesting possibilities in the study of aerosols, an issue that we have been working on in the TGBA research group for more than 20 years.
Who has this visit been then?
Dr. Sara Rivero-Calle (@rivero_lab),PhD in Biological Oceanography, who currently works as an Assistant Professor at the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography (@skioinsavannah),in Georgia (USA). Sara did her doctoral thesis on Trichodesmium in the North Atlantic using remote sensing tools, a very interesting question for our islands. He was accompanied by Laura(@lmslauralms1993), a doctoral student at the Institute of Oceanography and Global Change (#IOCAG) of the ULPGC.
Taking advantage of her time on the island, we have had the opportunity to show her the facilities in the Faculty of Marine Sciences and in particular in the laboratories of our group, delving a little about our work and exchanging some ideas that can undoubtedly lead to future synergies.
What else to say! It is a pleasure to strengthen links between marine researchers on both sides of the Atlantic.
