Elena Pérez Miguel Garcia obtained an outstanding Master's Report

The BS in Biology and Oceanography student of Masters courses offered by the University of Cádiz , Miguel García Muñoz, defended last December before the academic tribunal appointed for that purpose, his memory Master entitled Environmental characterization of seamounts in the Alboran Sea from the study of sediments and foraminiferal associations . This work has been awarded an OUTSTANDING , so congratulations to both its director and the doctors who have guided the research.

This initial work for scientific research has been performed within the Research Group Gemar , under the supervision of Dr Nieves López González and José Luis Rueda Ruiz. Attention is focused on the study of several sediment samples extracted from different environments, on seamounts that form the Bank of Djibouti. We performed a detailed characterization work sedimentation environments and identification of major groups of foraminifera were found in each environment.

The material has been found in oceanographic surveys that were conducted in the Project DEEPER , funded by the English Institute of Oceanography , and occurred on board the research vessel Rafael de Paula Navarro and Cornide de Saavedra. This is the first research to be done in the framework of this project aims at studying the sedimentation environments based on foraminifera. Their findings shed much light on the nature of which we are studying geohábitats in the Alboran Basin and that are relevant to establish conservation and protectionist policies of the marine environment best suited.

Today, Miguel García Muñoz is preparing a scientific publication which summarizes the most interesting findings of this scientific work. Those interested in his work you can connect to it through this website.
