in Spotlight: Caro Martínez

💧 Carolina finished GroundwatCh in 2018 and now she is back in working as a Freelance Research Assistant and Environmental Engineer. Her research interests cover a huge range of topics including modelling in karst areas, in coastal zones, and environmental justice.

👩‍🏫 A few months ago, she finished a project at the Engineering Institute in UNAM Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México dedicated to mining pollution issues and related conflicts in México: "I am still writing some articles and developing an app where results of this two-year research project will be presented".

👩‍💻Without taking a break, as a true GroundwatCher, she jumped into other interesting projects. One of them is about groundwater modelling in karst areas: "As part of a joint and still very young project, we are working in collab with TU Dresden and Conagua Yucatan towards an integrated recharge model of a karst aquifer of the Yucatán Peninsula". Another project is about urban waste in coastal areas such as microplastics: "This is one of the biggest projects I am working for. Around ten Mexican universities are contributing and 19 out of 21 researchers are female scientists . My part is in the Citizen Science branch, namely applying available databases and remote sensing to investigate our study areas and engage local communities in data sharing".

🍻Regarding future plans, Carolina wants to pursue her dream of getting a PhD degree, but meanwhile, she is happy to work for different projects as a freelancer: "Although I keep looking for opportunities, I am really happy to work with many different people all over the country. They all have quite interesting backgrounds and have a lot of experience to learn from. By the way, if you are interested in any of my research topics, do not hesitate to hit me up on ResearchGate, where you can find most of my papers. Hugs and Hugs, your Caro"

PS: I haven't left my desk since the pandemic started in Mexico, so this photo is taken at the last conference I attended - Soil Mechanics, Cancún, Nov of 2019. My role was to help non-Spanish speakers, but I ended up translating only two times 😉
