Chair Professor of Ecology
Dr. Isabel Reche is an Chair Professor of Ecology and Associate Scientist of the Instituto del Agua at the University of Granada (Spain). She received her doctor degree from this university in 1995 and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Ecosystems Studies (Millbrook, NY, USA) until 1998. Since then she is at the UGR.
She has been involved in several projects in remote environments as boreal, and alpine lakes or in the Southern Ocean. Her specific scientific interests are dissolved and particulate organic carbon dynamics in aquatic ecosystems and bacterioplankton activity and structure.
