Gloria is a Technical Officer with the Centre for Marine Ecosystems Management at the School of Science and manages the Environmental Radiochemistry Laboratory.

Background

After gaining a degree in Geological Sciences at the Universitat de Barcelona (Spain), a Maîtrise 'Océanologie Appliquée by the University of Perpignan (France) Gloria attained a Masters in Environmental Engineering at the Institut Químic de Sarrià (Spain) and a Masters in Occupational Risk Prevention at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Spain). Between 1992 and 1995 she participated in several open-ocean expeditions lead by the Marine Science Institute of Barcelona (Spain) then in 1996 moving into the Implementation of Quality (ISO 9001), Environment (ISO 14001) and Health and Safety (Risk Prevention) management systems in several corporate organisations.   During the period 2008-2010, Gloria was employed as a Quality Manager at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB, Spain), systematising the laboratories to IS0 17025 standard in technical competence, including the Environmental Radioactivity Laboratory (LRA) at the Department of Physics / Environmental Science and Technology Institute.

From 2010-2014 Gloria was Project Manager with the European FP7 project PEGASO (People for Ecosystem-based Governance in Assessing Sustainable Development of Ocean and Coast).
