Hilda De Pablo

Hilda De Pablo is a researcher in Environmental Engineering at Universidade Lusófona, focusing on marine pollution, hydrodynamic modeling, and coastal ecosystem monitoring. She holds a PhD and Master's in Environmental Engineering, along with a Licence in Marine Science.

• Education:
  • PhD in Environmental Engineering
  • Master's in Environmental Engineering
  • Licence in Marine Science

Her research spans marine pollution dynamics, contaminant transport modeling, and environmental quality assessment using biomarkers and ecological indicators. Key methodologies involve Lagrangian and 3D-MOHID hydrodynamic models, with applications to macroplastics, nutrient fluxes, and thermal effluents.

Recent publications highlight her work on plastic dispersion in the North Atlantic, HAB warning systems, and interdisciplinary coastal zone modeling. She has extensively studied the Tagus estuary and Obidos lagoon, addressing metal contamination and eutrophication.
