My name is Emily ROBBINS, I am a French student who is currently attending a Master’s degree program at the European Institute for Marine Studies (IUEM) in Brest, France. As part of my university course, and in order to get professional experience, I’m doing an internship in CIMA – University of Algarve. My work is part of EVREST project and I’m learning more about barrier island dynamics, salt marsh development, ecogeomorphology of low-gradient environments, supervised/unsupervised classification in ArcGIS, and grain-size analysis, amongst others.
