Margarida L. R. Liberato obtained a Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Lisbon, Portugal in 2008. Her research expertise is in climate dynamics with specific research interests in understanding ocean-atmosphere coupled climate variability and extremes, at different spatial and temporal scales, and in compound and cascading natural hazards, including large-storms, floods, heatwaves and droughts. Her work also bridges science and society, contributing to better understanding and managing climate risks. Margarida L.R. Liberato is an Associate Professor with UTAD and a Researcher at the Instituto Dom Luiz (IDL) and CITAB. She is a Principal Researcher in several funded projects, such as “STORMEx -Mid-Latitude North Atlantic Extreme Storms Variability,” and a secondary proposer of COST Actions such as “FutureMed—A Transdisciplinary Network to Bridge Climate Science and Impacts on Society”. Margarida L. R. Liberato has contributed to dozens of indexed scientific papers and over 200 communications at international meetings. Dr. Liberato has successfully supervised over 30 postgraduate students and researchers.
