Maria Alguero-Muniz

Maria Alguero-Muniz is a Researcher at the University of Glasgow, affiliated with the School of Biodiversity, One Health & Veterinary Medicine. Her work focuses on ocean acidification impacts, plankton community dynamics, and marine ecosystem responses to environmental stressors.

Her research spans plankton physiology, trophic interactions, and climate change adaptation in marine systems. Recent projects include eDNA metabarcoding for aquaculture monitoring and upwelling simulations to study carbon cycling.

Maria's publications (2012–2025) reveal a thematic focus on marine biogeochemistry, zooplankton ecology, and novel species taxonomy. Key collaborations include institutions studying pelagic food webs and CO2-driven ecological shifts.

Scientific awards include funding from The Royal Society of Edinburgh (2021–2022) for planktonic threat monitoring in salmon aquaculture. Her work has been published in Nature Climate Change, Global Biogeochemical Cycles, and Frontiers in Marine Science.
