A. Cristina S. Rocha (female) is a researcher whose research focus is on the investigation of the fate and environmental impact of xenobiotics on ecosystems and on the development of environmental remediation technologies. With a PhD in Environmental Sciences and Technology (2013), her expertise is on coastal ecosystems in which this researcher has investigated the toxicological effects of pollutants (e.g., nutrients, metals and organic contaminants) on estuarine organisms. Furthermore, PhD A. Cristina S. Rocha has pursued research on the fate of contaminants on different environmental compartments and the use of marsh plants or algae to remediate contaminated matrices as an environmental technology of remediation. PhD A. Cristina S. Rocha has a solid know-how on environmental chemistry applied to estuarine environments and environmental risk assessment of contaminants, having participated in several projects. Furthermore, she has acquired expertise in several laboratory procedures (including sample preparation, chemical compounds extraction from different matrices, measurement of different compounds/pollutants in several environmental matrices, analysis of enzymatic activities and parameters of oxidative stress) and analytical techniques.
