Dr. Ilaria Bentes

Lisbon, Portugal

About

Hi, I'm Ilaria — a postdoctoral marine ecologist in Lisbon. I study how seagrass meadows and oyster reefs recover after marine heatwaves, and how restoration projects can plan for a warming ocean. Half my work happens underwater with a camera; the other half happens in R.
