Júlia is a PhD student at ICTA-UAB and holds bachelor’s in Environmental Sciences and a master’s in Oceanography and Marine Management. In her research, she mainly uses radioactive geochemical tracers (radium and radon isotopes) to study land-ocean exchange processes. In particular, her thesis is focused on Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) to the sea and the associated solute fluxes, as well as the biogeochemical transformations that occur in the coastal aquifer before the discharge into the sea. Through her work, she seeks to understand the impact of these processes on coastal ecosystems.
