Carlos E. de Rezende

Carlos Eduardo de Rezende is a Full Professor at Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense Darcy Ribeiro (UENF) and has an extensive scientific background in Applied Ecology, Oceanography, and Environmental Sciences, with emphasis on the biogeochemistry of aquatic and coastal ecosystems. His research publications focus primarily on organic matter dynamics using carbon and nitrogen isotopes, trace metal cycling, and the biogeochemical functioning of mangroves, estuaries, and riverine systems, as well as material transfer processes at the land–ocean interface. His scientific work also addresses environmental quality, climate change impacts, coastal ecosystem conservation, and the transport and fate of pollutants in aquatic environments. Throughout his career, he has coordinated and participated in multidisciplinary research projects involving biogeochemistry, environmental monitoring, and ecosystem sustainability. His international experience includes scientific collaborations with universities and research institutes in the United States and Europe, particularly in Germany, focusing on the biogeochemistry of coastal and marine ecosystems, organic carbon dynamics, metal pollutants, and the conservation of aquatic environments. In the administrative sphere, he served as Vice-Rector, Dean of Undergraduate Studies, and Director of the Center for Biosciences and Biotechnology at UENF. He also participated as a key person in the establishment Environmental Sciences Laboratory – UENF and currently acts as Associate Editor for the journals Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, Clean Ocean, and PeerJ.
