Activities
From 2020 to 2022, I have been part of the Oceanography Laboratory of the University of Antofagasta in which I have focused on the area of Biological Oceanography, particularly on the study of phytoplankton blooms in coastal environments. This same year I started my Research Unit in which I developed my thesis called "Factors causing the appearance and disappearance of a phytoplankton bloom in San Jorge Bay (Antofagasta, Chile) during the summer of 2020-2021" which aimed to discern the biological, physical and chemical factors in which a bloom of the genus Prorocentrum developed. Subsequently, I carried out my professional practice to qualify for the title of Marine Biologist in which I participated in various activities carried out in the Oceanography Laboratory.
