Marta Mora Ballestar

Communication department

I have a degree in Geology (2013) and a master’s degree in Water Resources Management (2015) from the University of Barcelona (UB). Later, I did a postgraduate degree in Scientific Communication (2019) organized by the University of Vic (UVIC) and Eduscopi.

In the CEAB I am part of the Communication Department. Currently I am coordinating the content and strategy of the institutional website, the news blog and the different social media channels. Also, I help and support researchers while communicating the science they do.

My professional career has not always been linked to scientific communication. My first work experiences were in environmental consultancies conducting soil studies and studies to improve the use of water resources

PROJECTS

Headwater basins provide water supply, greenhouse gas regulation, and other essential ecosystem services. However, human activities have altered its functioning. This research project investigates how factors of anthropogenic origin alter the dynamics of headwater basins, especially their role in climate regulation.
The project proposes to study biodiversity resilience by tracking changes in lake communitycomposition over the last ca. 2.000 years in four Pyrenean lakes with contrasting history of stressors pressure.
