I am Carla, a Catalan student in Ghent University, super passionate about the marine environments and concerned about climate change. 

I’m currently working on my master thesis which focuses on describing the community composition of two different fjords in South Greenland to be able to predict how the melting of the glaciers due to climate change is going to affect the communities in that ecosystem. I wanted to join APECS because I think it’s very important to advocate for polar science, considering that the polar ecosystems drive the currents in our planet and the life on it depends on healthy marine ecosystems.
