Inês Catarina Duarte Carneiro holds a degree in Marine Biology (2021, University of Algarve, Portugal), and a MSc degree in Marine Biological Resources (IMBRSea) (2023, Ghent University, Belgium). Currently, she is working on the production of an exhibition of old and recent photographs depicting the evolution of the Ria Formosa coastal landscape, accompanied by detailed scientific analysis, within the scope of the Projeto LIFE18 NAT/PT/000927– LIFE Ilhas Barreira. As part of the MSc degree program, she undertook an internship at the University of Algarve with a focus on the status of wetlands restoration in the Ria Formosa Lagoon. During the pursuit of her master's thesis, she conducted an investigation into the challenges related to the transplantation of salt marsh vegetation within a rewilded, which resulted in a peer-reviewed scientific publication in STOTEN (Science of the Total Environment). She presented her research at international conferences, including a poster on sediment geochemistry at the 5th European Conference on Biodiversity and Climate Change as co-author, an oral presentation on salt marsh transplants at the EGU General Assembly 2023, and a poster on salt marsh colonization challenges at the 8th Scientific Symposium for Students of Marine and Environmental Science. With a specific interest in salt marsh restoration strategies and the optimization of wetland-based solutions, committed to advancing knowledge in science and contributing to the sustainable management of coastal ecosystems. Her academic studies and professional experience have equipped her with proficiency in various IT tools and methodologies, including GIS software, programming languages (R environment), Arduino, image editing software, and data analysis (Excel). Additionally, she has developed strong social skills and competencies in problem-solving, time management, computer literacy, teamwork, creativity, and communication.
