Bernardo Rocha

Bernardo Reis Rocha is conducting a Ph.D. in using epiphytic lichens as an ecological indicator to identify the effects of climate change at the ecosystem level, both in time and space by the University of Lisbon starting in 2020 within the eChanges group of cE3c. He/She is conducting the project Using Lichens Diversity to track the effects of climate change: can we do this at a global scale? under the supervision of Dra. Paula Matos from IGOT, Dr. Pedro Pinho from FCUL and Dr. Paulo Giordani from UNIGE (Italy). My Ph.D. project aims at developing epyphytic lichens as ecological indicators of the effects of climate change, with the potential for its application at the global scale.
