Dr. Correa, Science Advisor
Dr. Correa is an aquatic ecologist. Her research investigates the ecology of large tropical and subtropical rivers, with study-sites in the Amazon and Pantanal, and along the Gulf Coast. Current research focuses on understanding the various ecological roles played by floodplain forest ecosystems, including supporting biodiversity, aquatic food webs and fisheries. Moreover, she seeks to investigate how Climate Change is altering these ecological roles and whether floodplain forests can contribute to mitigating the detrimental effects of Climate Change at local and regional scales.
