Fabiola Amorim holds a DSc degree in Physical Oceanography by the Oceanographic Institute of the University of São Paulo (2011) and a MSc degree in Coastal and Sedimentary Geology (2005). She has worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Oceanographic Modeling and Observation Network - REMO (2013-2015) and at the Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies at the University of Aveiro (2011-2012). Since 2002 she have been working with observation and analysis of meteo-oceanographic data and from 2008 with ocean numerical modeling. Her research areas of interest include the study of circulation processes in coastal and oceanic regions, both based on oceanographic data analysis and through numerical modeling of circulation. At CIIMAR she is working under the Project “European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and Water Column Observatory – Portugal" aiming in describing the deep-sea circulation and sediment transport at the mining activities area of MAR at Azores.
