Fabiola Amorim holds a DSc degree in physical oceanography (2011) by the Oceanographic Institute of São Paulo University and a MSc degree in Coastal and Sedimentary Geology (2005). She has worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Brazilian Oceanographic Modeling and Observation Network – REMO (2013-2015) and at the Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies at the University of Aveiro – CESAM (2011-2012). Since 2002 she have been working with observation and analysis of meteo-oceanographic data and from 2008 with ocean and Lagrangian numerical modelling. Her research areas of interest include the study of circulation processes in coastal and oceanic regions, both based on oceanographic data analysis and through numerical modeling of circulation, and Lagrangian modelling of passive (e.g. larvae, non-cohesive sediments) and non-passive (e.g. cohesive sediments, oil, chemical, bio-physical interations) particles.
