Shyrill Mae F. Mariano
I am an MS Marine Science graduate under the Physical Sciences track from The Marine Science Institute, University of the Philippines - Diliman. For my thesis, I looked into the occurrence of emerging contaminants in different aquatic environments. I have also been involved in projects related to submarine groundwater discharge and organic pollutants in natural and engineered systems. I obtained my BS Geology degree from the National Institute of Geological Sciences.
