Last Monday July 7th, our student Daniel Santana successfully defended hir PhD, earning the distinction of cum laude and an International Mention!!

Throughout the years working with us, Daniel has made outstanding contributions: he has published 5 scientific papers (including 3 as first author), completed a research stay at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, taught 120hour, and participated in three scientific cruises (two of them longer than 30 days!). 

Daniel started working with us on his final Degree project and continued until now. So after 7 years on the lab, the whole team will miss him around. He is the kind of officemate you can count with. Dani will start a new stage on his career specializing in AI and programming. We can't wait to hear about his new achievements in the future!

Last week, Master's student Alberto Alcalá successfully defended his thesis titled "Deep Currents across the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the South Atlantic Ocean." He received an outstanding grade of 9.8. His work focused on characterizing a Rossby wave using data from the SAGA array deployed in the eastern South Atlantic basin. It was a pleasure working with him, and we wish him all the best in the next stage of his career.

On April 1st, our student Cristina Arumí successfully defended her PhD, earning the distinction of cum laude and an International Mention!!

Throughout the years working with us, Cristina has made outstanding contributions: she has published 9 scientific papers (including 3 as first author), completed research stays at NOAA Miami and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, taught courses, and participated in two scientific cruises.

She now moves on to a postdoctoral position at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, returning home to mainland Spain after nearly a decade in the Canaries. The entire lab will miss her deeply, and we wish her the very best in this exciting new chapter of her career!!

Día internacional de la mujer y La Niña en ciencia

2/11/2025

Comments

 
Hoy es el día internacional de la mujer y La Niña en ciencia y una de las mayores ambiciones de este día es dar a conocer a mujeres que se dediquen a la ciencia. Decía un artículo de ayer de la ULPGC que aunque hay más matriculadas (57.5%) que matriculados (42.5%) en los distintos Grados, en ciencias este porcentaje se mantiene (56.9%) y decae en las carreras de ingeniería y arquitectura (32%). Las matrículas en los Máster también tienen un porcentaje mayor de matriculadas ( 56.9% vs 43.1%) mientras que en los doctorados ese ratio está mas equiparado (49.8% mujeres). Sin embargo, si observamos el porcentaje de personal docente investigador (58.4% hombres) vemos que aún queda mucho por hacer, sobre todo en las ramas de ciencias ( 32.5% de mujeres) e ingeniería y arquitectura (17.7% de mujeres). La realidad es esa, aunque se forman más mujeres, por el camino caen y abandonan la carrera investigadora más mujeres que hombres.

En otro artículo la biblioteca de la ULPGC nos muestra que la universidad tiene 73 mujeres en el ranking de investigadoras en España, y aunque este ranking no contempla edad de las investigadoras ni área de conocimiento al menos permite saber cómo estamos a nivel nacional.

En nuestro grupo de Oceanografía física somos varias las que somos personal docente e investigador del grupo (Diana Grisolia, Carmen Gordo y yo), también tenemos una técnico que nos ayuda a conseguir financiación (Patricia Caro) y en el grupo tenemos varias mujeres realizando la tesis conmigo y con Alonso Hernández:

- Cristina Arumí Planas: que defenderá su tesis en abril lleva 4 años estudiando el Atlántico Sur. Cuenta con dos estancias predoctorales realizadas en la Universidad de Hamburgo, y en la NOAA De Miami. Tiene 9 artículos de investigación, de los cuales es primera autora en 3. Ya tiene esperando un trabajo postdoctoral en el Barcelona Supercomputing Centre.

- Mara Navarro Buigues: alumna de segundo año de doctorado que ya cuenta con dos campañas oceanográficas y un primer artículo de investigación enviado a revista. Mara estudia la circulación océanica en el Denmark Strait y sus alrededores, una zona de vital importancia para el océano y el clima.Mara realizará este año su primera estancia en la Universidad de Islandia.

- María del Río Diaz: nuestra más novel estudiante, dispuesta a estudiar el Océano Índico haciendo uso de las secciones GO-SHIP.

The first published paper of 2025 is out and is Daniel's second PhD first-author paper. Daniel on his PhD is working on the western boundary of the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre using data from the WOCE/GO-SHIP international program. In this case, he used two meridional hydrographic cruises (the A22 and A20 sections) that took place in 2021, these lines have been previously sampled together in 1997, 2003, and 2012. He finds significant Gulf Stream changes in 2021 versus 2012 and 1997, and a stable Deep Western Boundary Current. You can find this publication in Progress in Oceanography.
