ADRIANA HUMANES

Postdoctoral Research Associate
Caracas, Venezuela
Adriana has a PhD in Marine Ecology focussed on the effects of human activities and climate change on coral reefs. Her previous experience includes environmental education programs in Venezuela, monitoring coral bleaching in the Caribbean and assessing the effects of suspended sediments, nutrients and temperature on coral reproduction. She is excited about the opportunity to participate in Homeward Bound and is looking forward to discussing with other participants the strategies needed in underdeveloped countries to make people aware of the need of mitigating the impact of human activities on climate change.
(Adriana was chosen to be the first recipient of the Homeward Bound Founders (partial) scholarship, funded by crowdfunding donations)
