Ana Margarida da Silva Vilas Boas, 29 years old, born in Barcelos, Braga, Portugal. PhD from the University of Algarve, approved with outstanding distinction and praise on 2024/04/19. Completed the Master's Degree in Geosciences on 2018/07/25 and the Degree in Geology on 2017/02/02, both courses at the University of Coimbra, Faculty of Science and Technology. Works in the area of ¿¿Natural Sciences with an emphasis on Earth and Environmental Sciences, more specifically Geology. During the development of the Master's degree, in the preparation of the thesis, entitled "Palynostratigraphy of the Upper Triassic transition - base of the Jurassic in the northern sector of the Lusitanian Basin (Portugal)", she specialized in Palynology, acquiring all the laboratory and field techniques necessary in the execution of the area. The work carried out proved to be productive, which led to the same problem being analyzed throughout the doctorate, results published in the dissertation entitled "Palynology of the Triassic - Jurassic of the Silves Group in Portugal - Its implications on a changing world" where more once proved to be very productive and with innovative results! In her professional activities, she interacted directly with four excellent collaborators, Zélia Pereira (LNEG), co-supervisor of the master's and doctoral theses and with whom she had the opportunity to intern for 6 months in the year of her master's dissertation at the National Laboratory of Energy and Geology, Luís Vítor Duarte (DCT-UC), supervisor of the master's thesis, Paulo Fernandes (CIMA-UAlg) supervisor of the doctoral thesis and Simonetta Cirilli (UniPG) co-supervisor of the doctoral thesis. The collaboration with these excellent geological scientists has resulted in publications in renowned international journals, where innovative data obtained from joint research is shared. She is currently associated with a project at the Università Degli Studi di Perugia, under the supervision of Drª. Simonetta Cirilli, once again with the main focus being the application of palynological studies on material from the Upper Triassic - Lower Jurassic, together with the application of other proxies in this frontier. The main objective is to associate ages and paleoenvironmental events with the materials studied.
