Leslie Aveytua Alcazar holds a PhD in Coastal Oceanography at the Marine Sciences Faculty at Autonomous University of Baja California. Since 2016 she’s been working as postdoctoral at the National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics in Dynamics of Ecosystems and Computational Oceanography division, where she worked on a range of issues of the biogeochemical modeling in coastal ecosystems.

Her interest lies in biogeochemical processes from a multidisciplinary perspective, and analyzing physical and biogeochemical predictions related to climate change and the effects of various human activities on coastal ecosystems, based on modeling products.
