"Elise"
Hi, I’m Elise. I am an MS Marine Science candidate and my interests are marine pollution, organic geochemistry, and numerical modeling. For my thesis, I am looking into the concentration and source of organic pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Manila Bay through organic analysis coupled with numerical modeling. I am also involved in projects related to submarine groundwater discharge, and sediment cores in Laguna Lake. I previously worked as a chemical engineer in the petroleum industry, specializing in aromatics production.
Research
Current Research
Thesis: “Concentration and Source of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Mussels and Sediments in East Manila Bay”
I am looking into the concentration, source and transport of organic pollutants such as PAHs in Manila Bay through organic analysis, water quality measurements, and numerical modeling.
BiORE Coare SGD Project 2: “Marine Benthic Geochemistry and Ecosystems Associated with Submarine Groundwater Discharge”
We are exploring the geochemistry of water, sediments, and ecosystems associated with SGD in Mabini, Batangas
OASIS In-House Project: “Organic proxy records of millennial-scale shifts between freshwater and marine phases of Laguna Lake, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) in mussels and sediments in East Manila Bay”
We are trying to analyze organic proxy records in a sediment core of Laguna Lake and organic pollutants such as PAHs in Manila Bay.
