Iván Hernández-Almeida
I’m Iván Hernández-Almeida. I’m from Spain and I work as a postdoctoral researcher at MARUM - University of Bremen. I study marine sediments to reconstruct past climate and ocean changes at different time-scales. I mainly use marine microfossils of planktonic organisms to study the changes in species composition through time as response to the shifts in ocean and climate. Otherwise I like outreach and communication of climate sciences. I am very interested in finding effective ways of communicating science, and in particular the general perception about climate change and how it should be presented to non-academic public. I believe that education and awareness-raising through science communication play an essential role in increasing the climate change adaptation and mitigation capacities of human societies.
