Leticia Maria Cavole

She holds a degree in Oceanography from the Federal University of Rio Grande (2012), a master's degree in Biological Oceanography from the Federal University of Rio Grande (2014), and a PhD in Marine Biology from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego (2021). She has experience in the field of Oceanography, with an emphasis on geochemistry, marine ecology, and climate change. Her work primarily focuses on reconstructing environmental parameters of seawater, such as temperature, salinity, and oxygen, using the carbonate structures of marine organisms, and on socio-ecological systems in the context of climate change. Her research has involved communities and marine organisms from various ecosystems (southern Brazil shelf; Amazon floodplains; mangroves in Mexico and Galápagos; low oxygen zones in California and Namibia; and the Delta of California). She was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Davis, where she used otolith geochemistry to reconstruct water salinity, aiming to understand long-term changes in the life history of endangered fish species in California, USA. She has collaborated with over thirty researchers worldwide (Oregon State University, University of California Los Angeles, State University of New York, Cornell University, Charles Darwin Foundation, University of Bergen, Autonomous University of Baja California).
