My research is focused on studying how the Antarctic benthic filter-
feeders are responding to the rapid environmental shift experienced by
the Antarctic Peninsula, especially related to sedimentation increase as a
a consequence of glaciers retreat. As part of my research goals, I have
participated in several Antarctic campaigns where I have performed
experiments analyzing the physiological responses of filter-feeders and
other benthic components to sedimentation. I have also participated in
the development of mathematical models in different areas of ecology
where eco-physiological, metabolic, and demographic information can be
included in the production of predictive models. In recent years I have also begun to collaborate in the development of management plans for protected areas in my region.
