Maria Teresa Condesso de Melo. Completed a PhD in Geosciences (Hydrogeology) with a sandwich PhD project at the Hydrogeology Group of the British Geological Survey (BGS, Wallingford, UK) and the University of Aveiro (UA, Aveiro, Portugal) in 2002; a MSc and a Post-graduation in Groundwater Hydrology at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC, Barcelona, Spain) in 1996 and 1993, respectively; and, graduated in Geology from the University of Coimbra (UC, Coimbra, Portugal) in 1992. She is an Associate Professor at the University of Lisbon - Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) since 2025 where she was an Assistant Professor between 2007-2025. She teaches at Bachelor and Master education levels at IST (Hydrogeology; Applied Hydrogeology, Groundwater Pollution and Protection, HACS Water Talks). She was a post-doc researcher at University of Aveiro between 2003-2007. She has published 43 articles in journals (H-Index 15), 7 book chapters and is the co-editor of 2 books. Organized 2 International Conferences (IAH2007 and SWIM2010) and several specialization courses in Portugal and overseas. She coordinates the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Programme in Groundwater and Global Change - Impacts and Adaptation (acronym GroundwatCh) with the IHE Delft (Netherlands) and TUDresden (Germany) and co-coordinates the Specialization on Tropical Health of the PhD Programme on Planetary Health at University of Lisbon. She supervised 10 PhD theses and more than 30 MSc dissertations . Co-supervised 1 work(s) of course completion of LSc/BSc. Has received 3 awards and/or honors. Participates and/or participated as Master Student Fellow in 2 project(s), PhD Student Fellow in 2 project(s), Principal investigator in 4 project(s) and Researcher in 10 project(s). Works in the area(s) of Natural sciences with emphasis on Earth and Environmental Sciences and Water Resources. Her main area of expertise is related to the investigation of the natural groundwater quality in aquifers and the interpretation of evolution patterns along flow paths. Groundwater recharge, tracers and groundwater dependent ecosystems are also important research interests. In her research career she has been collaborating with colleagues and different institutions in Europe but also in Africa (Cape Verde, Tunisia), Brasil, Chile, Argentina and Guatemala trying to bridge the gaps with between science & society and promoting education to protect (ground)water resources and guarantee water resources sustainability to face global challenges.
