Projects

Marine Ecology and Conservation Project, University of Portsmouth, 2023,

Conducted field studies and research on marine ecosystems., Analyzed the impact of human activities on marine life., Proposed conservation strategies based on research findings.


Exploring Antarctic Benthic Biodiversity: The Impact of Fjord Proximity on Organism Composition

Alejandro Roman-Gonzalez, University of Portsmouth, 2023/2024, 

Conducted an in-depth study analyzing the relationship between fjord proximity and benthic biodiversity in Antarctic ecosystems., Utilized advanced image analysis, statistical methods, and GIS mapping to investigate patterns and ecological nuances., Findings demonstrated that locations closer to fjords exhibited higher biodiversity, contributing to the understanding of Antarctic marine ecosystems. 


Greece – Climate Change Vulnerability Report, University of Portsmouth, 2023, 

Conducted an analysis of Greece’s vulnerabilities to projected climate changes., Utilized MAGICC7 climate model and IPCC WGI Interactive Atlas., Findings revealed critical data on temperature rise, drought conditions, agricultural yields, and public health risks., Proposed robust adaptation strategies to mitigate adverse effects on Greece's economy, environment, and health infrastructure.


Research Paper, Athens September 2019 — May 2020 

 Conducted a biological research paper studying the effect of global warming on the rate of photosynthesis in algae. Engaged in four months of laboratory work to investigate the relationship between rising temperatures and algae species' concentration. Simulated global warming conditions by introducing pH changes in the water and carefully measuring the resulting algae species' concentration. Collected and analyzed data using statistical tools to draw meaningful conclusions. Developed strong data analytical skills, attention to detail, and proficiency in laboratory techniques throughout the research process.
