Carla Costa

I am an undergraduate French student in Biology and Biochemistry. In order to validate my degree, I'm realizing a 3 months internship at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

I joined the Deheyn lab from April until June 2019 in order to work on the evolution of microfibers in the coastal waters of California. My goal is to evaluate the amount of microfibers in the ocean from 1983 to today and to understand their impact on the environment.

I have always been passionate about the ocean and its mysteries, and being able to participate in an environmental topic in this laboratory is a huge opportunity.
