I am a professor in the undergraduate courses 1) Nature Sciences and 2) Biotechnology and in the Postgraduate Program in Sustainability at the School of Arts, Sciences and Humanities, University of São Paulo. I have a master's degree (1993) and a double doctorate (1997) in Biological Oceanography (Oceanographic Institute, USP) and Micropaleontology and Oceanic Palaeoenvironments (Université d Angers, France). I did post-doctoral studies in 1) Ecology (Institute of Biosciences, USP, 1999), 2) Biogeochemistry of impacted marine environments (Cornell University, USA, 2005), 3) Micropaleontology and Environmental Geology (Institute of Geosciences, USP, 2002-2006, Young Researcher FAPESP). I participated in the Fullbright Program (2014-2016), USA, where I was a visiting researcher at the 1) Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Arizona, 2) Department of Geology and Geophysics, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and 3) National Center for Atmospheric Research. I was also a visiting researcher at the Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD), Paris (2011), and at the IODP Kochi Core Center, Japan (2015). I have participated in several projects and scientific expeditions in Antarctica, the Indian Ocean (Expedition 354 Bengal Fan, CAPES-IODP), Atlantic and Pacific (Central America, El Salvador), working in the areas of assessment of impacted marine regions, paleoenvironmental reconstitution, climate change, and environmental diplomacy. I was the chief researcher on board the oceanography team (PROANTAR Project 557036-2009-7), on the vessels Ary Rongel and Almirante Maximiano, during Antarctic Operations 29, 30,31, 32, 33.
Professora da Universidade de São Paulo (EACH/USP) no Programa de Pós-graduação em Sustentabilidade (PPgSUS) e nos cursos de Bacharelado em Biotecnologia e de Licenciatura em Ciências da Natureza. Atuou como Vice-coordenadora (2016-2018) e Coordenadora (2018-2020) do PPgSUS (EACH/USP).
Possui mestrado em Oceanografia (IOUSP, 1993) e doutorado em Oceanografia Biológica (IOUSP) e em Micropaleontologie et Paléoenvironnements Océaniques (Université d Angers, França, 1997). Fez pós-doutorado em: 1) Ecologia (Instituto de Biociências, USP, 1999), 2) Biogeoquímica de ambientes marinhos impactados (Cornell University, EUA, 2005), 3) Micropaleontologia e Geologia Ambiental (Instituto de Geociências, USP, 2002-2006, Jovem Pesquisador FAPESP).
Participou do Fullbright Program (2014-2016), onde foi pesquisadora visitante no 1) Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Arizona, 2) Department of Geology and Geophysics, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution e 3) National Center for Atmospheric Research. Também foi pesquisadora visitante no Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD), Paris (2011) e no IODP Kochi Core Center, Japão (2015).
Participou de diversos projetos e expedições científicas na Antártica, nos oceanos Índico (Expedição 354 Bengal Fan, CAPES-IODP), Atlântico e Pacífico (América Central, El Salvador), atuando nas áreas de avaliação de regiões marinhas impactadas, reconstituição paleoambiental, mudanças climáticas e diplomacia ambiental. Foi pesquisadora chefe da equipe de oceanografia, nos navios Ary Rongel e Almirante Maximiano, durante as Operações Antárticas 29, 30,31, 32, 33.
Atualmente é coordenadora do Hub Lusófono Década do Oceano - USP (UNESCO/CPLP) e do grupo de pesquisa de Diplomacia Ambiental do Instituto de Relações Internacionais e Comércio Exterior (IRICE).
