The ECS student community
My name is Marc Ruiz-Sagalés, and I am a PhD student from Barcelona.
I completed my Bachelor's degree in Environmental Sciences at the University of Barcelona, Spain (2017-2021), where I focused my research on the ecological requirements of deep-diving cetaceans around the Azores. Following this, I pursued a Master's degree in Biodiversity at the same university (2019-2021), where my research centered on analyzing population trends and habitat suitability for sperm and southern right whales using historical whaling records.
Currently, I am a PhD student at the Biodiversity Research Institute (IRBio) and the University of Barcelona. Now, my research focuses on the biology, ecology, and climate-driven effects on North Atlantic mysticetes, utilizing biomarkers and historical records to uncover insights into their lives.
As your student representative, I am deeply committed to the development and well-being of future marine mammalogists. My goal is to foster a dynamic and supportive student community within the ECS, and to create opportunities for us to connect, share knowledge, and grow together as we embark on our journeys in marine mammalogy.
