The second online presentation of 19th June was given by Inés Hernández García who explained her research entitled: "Spatio-temporal variability from large to mesoscale oceanographic features off Northwest Africa by numerical modelling validated with in-situ observations. The Cape Verde Frontal Zone".

On Friday 19th June, the second session of thesis presentations took place online via the platform Microsoft Teams. The first of two presentations was given by Javier Berdún Quevedo on "Temporal dynamics of Trichodesmium spp. in the Canary Islands: origin, development and disappearance of blooms". A Summary of Javier's work can be located by clicking .

As programmed, Néstor Marrero was able to deliver his presentation on Microsoft Teams and we can now upload a few of the interesting transparencies that accompanied his talk. The presentation, which lasted just over 20 minutes, was given in English.

Thesis presentations by PhD students usually held in Taliarte are once more up and running, this time online. María Couret, whose research is entitled "Seasonal variations in the abundance, biomass and diversity of the zooplankton and micronecton communities" was the first to present her work for this subject via the Microsoft Teams platform and completed it with a Powerpoint presentation to illustrate her arguments and data collection. The presentation, which came across very well despite some acoustic interference, was given in English.

As programmed, on Friday 24th January 2020, Abdallahi Limam was able to present his initial work and plans relative to his thesis entitled "Resources in the mesopelagic zone off the west-African coast: Implications for carbon flux". Once again, the abstract of his study can be accessed .

The seminar program in Taliarte for the academic year 2018-2019 came to a close last Friday, 7th June, with a presentation by Fabio de Paoli, during which he talked about his research work to date on "Biogeomorphological processes in the interaction between aeolian and slope systems in arid environments of volcanic islands".

May 24th saw the turn of Paula Santiago Díaz to present her thesis in Taliarte and she explained the work behind: "Determination of polyphenols, amino acids and other metabolites in microalgae and their exuded material". More information on her studies can be found on the Doycag website .

On Friday 26th April, it was the turn of Pablo Guerra Martín to inform us on his research work to date.

Abel San Romualdo Collado was the second of two PhD presenters on 10th May and he explained his study on "Characterization of sand sheets and nebkhas fields in the Canary Islands". More can be read about his research.

Last Friday 10th May 2019, the seminar program continued with the following presentation:"Organic complexation of Fe and Cu in marine environments" was the subject of Veronica Arnone's talk. More details about her research can be read .
