Dulce Oliveira graduated in Marine Biology and Biotechnology from the Instituto Politécnico de Leiria, PT, (2006), has a post-graduation in Quality Management and Food Safety from Lusófona University, PT, (2009), a MSc in Marine Sciences from Lisbon University, PT, (2012) and a PhD in Marine Sedimentology and Paleoclimate from Bordeaux University, FR, (May 2017). D. Oliveira initiated her scientific career in 2010 as FCT project CLIMHOL (PTDC/AAC-CLI/100157/2008) fellow, while doing her MSc (final grade 18/20). In 2013 she was awarded a FCT doctoral grant (4th among 61 applicants - SFRH/BD/90790/2012) to develop her work plan between IDL-Lisbon University, CCMAR (PT) and EPHE, EPOC-Bordeaux University (FR). After PhD defense in May 2017, she was award a short-term post-doc position (Nov-Dec 2017) at Bordeaux University, followed by a research post-doc grant in the framework of the FCT exploratory project ULTImATum (IF/01489/2015) at IPMA (PT). In May 2019 started an FCT young researcher contract (500 selected from 4600 applicants - CEECIND/02208/2017) with CCMAR (PT) to investigate past Indian vegetation and monsoon response to climate variability.

Her research has contributed to the fields of palaeoecology and palaeoclimate, with a special focus on understanding the response of vegetation to variations in climatic forcing over regions particularly sensitive to climate change, with the goal of developing a better understanding of how the Earth System responds to natural and human-induced perturbations. This focus has been developed through specialization in pollen analysis from marine sediments, which provides the unique opportunity of directly compare pollen-based vegetation and terrestrial climate with marine environmental change in the same stratigraphic level. The conjunction of terrestrial and marine indicators leads to a better understanding of the land-atmosphere-ocean systems, bypassing timescale and correlation uncertainties.

Author/co-author of 14 publications in ISI journals since 2015, of which 3 published in major multidisciplinary scientific journals (IF >4: Climate Dynamics-first author, Quaternary Science Reviews-first author, Frontiers in Plant Science). Her work has awarded her 3 prizes, the LOréal Portugal Medal of Honour for Women in Science 2017 and 13 grants to participate in international scientific meetings. Participation in 12 research projects (4 international, 7 national, 1 joint program) and a member of the international pollen working group IODP EXP 339 and EXP 353, provided her the opportunity to establish a fruitful network of international collaborations, particularly with French, Belgium, German, South Korean, and Indian institutions. Conscientious of the importance of dissemination and outreach, D. Oliveira has been very active in this domain, participating in national and international scientific meetings with 67 presentations (29: author; 38: co-author) and being involved in several outreach initiatives such as IPMA-Escolas, dedicated to 1st grade students, talks at schools, or yet being co-responsible for the scientific Paleo-Forums organization in the Marine Geology and Georesources Division (DivGM) at IPMA, PT (since 2014).

NEW ON BOARD: Dulce Oliveira

Dulce Oliveira has joined to study the impacts of climate change on the Indian monsoon and vegetation across the middle Pleistocene transition – as an analogue for the present climate warning.

Our IPMA researchers were present at this event that aims to end the existing barriers that separate science and researchers from citizens.

Our IPMA collaborators participated in the event that took place at the Centro de Congressos do Estoril in Cascais, from 7 to 11 October.

Our researchers and collaborators of IPMA participated in a day dedicated to the protection and defense of the oceans that took place at the National Museum of Natural History and Science of the University of Lisbon.

This study led by the University of Salamanca and our researchers from IPMA aims to answer the call of the Southern Ocean Observing System Science Strategy to study the impact of ocean acidification these ecosystems.

The main goal of this online event was to address and highlight themes related to the role of women in science. From Robotics to Medicine, were presented the projects developed by the 14 guest speakers.

Indra, a new CCMAR project, will study the monsoon system in India in the past to anticipate the future

The event brought together researchers, students, and guests from different areas of oceanography and was attended by several researchers and students from the CCMAR.
