Sara Haro, our former PhD student, has joined the Earth and Ocean Sciences research group at the School of Natural Sciences and Ryan Institute, National University of Ireland in Galway (NUIG) as a postdoctoral researcher, where she will monitor macroalgae blooms using machine learning algorithms from Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 satellite images. This project is funded by the Ramón Areces Foundation as Sara won one of the 16 postdoctoral fellowships awarded by the Ramón Areces Foundation for further studies abroad in life sciences during 2022. Thus, she will continue working on the work she did while in our laboratory on using Sentinel-2 and Random Forest classification to study the patterns in space and time of microphytobenthos.
