Biography

Carla Mejias-Rivera is earning a PhD in the department of Marine Sciences at University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus and is a Cohort-1 NCAS-M Fellow.  I am interested in the NCAS-M focus area — Process-level Understanding and Enhanced Modeling Capabilities in support of the NCAS-M theme: Innovative observations for advancing the analysis and prediction of weather, climate, and atmospheric chemistry. My recent research experience involves the assessment of coastal carbon temporal and spatial dynamics in southwestern Puerto Rico, it’s sources, ecosystem implications and bio-optical properties.
