    Project/Role
    Dr Marta Coll Monton is a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Marine Science (Barcelona, Spain) in collaboration with Dalhousie University (Halifax, Canada). She is currently working on the Marie Curie project "ECOFUN: Analysis of biodiversity changes on structural and functional properties of marine ecosystems under cumulative human stressors" (International Outgoing Fellowships FP7-PEOPLE-2007-4-1-IOF, European Community). Her interest focuses on understanding how documented changes on marine biodiversity have been translated into changes on ecosystem structure and functioning, and services to humans, and how these changes may impact ecosystems in the future. To do so, she applies various ecological modelling tools using historical and fisheries data and combines it with laboratory experiments and field work data analysis. Her PhD work was based on studying marine ecosystems in the Mediterranean Sea, where she studied the ecosystem impacts of fishing by means of food-web modelling and trophodynamic indicators.
