COURSE DESCRIPTION
Eduardo Cejudo Espinosa Karst Wetlands in the Yucatan Peninsula
Presenting: July 21, 2022, SWS Latin American Conference webinar
ABSTRACT:
In this talk, we will present a brief historical overview of the research carried out in karst wetlands of the Yucatan Peninsula. Examples include: physical and biogeochemical characterization of a tropical karst marsh; Cyanobacteria and nitrates in karstic systems; regional meteoric water line of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico; groundwater biogeochemistry in the agro-industrial region of the Noreste de Yucatan; changes in the hydrochemistry of a karstic lake in Yucatan, Mexico; sinkholes in the north of Qintana Roo, Mexico; soil water retention and carbon pools in tropical forested wetlands and
marshes of the Gulf of Mexico; and floral composition, diversity, and ecology of herbaceous wetlands in the coastal plain of Veracruz, Mexico. We will talk in more detail about the ongoing research in the tecto-karstic wetlands of northern Quintana Roo, Mexico.
BIO:
Eduardo Cejudo is a Biologist graduated from the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico. He completed graduate studies in Environmental Biotechnology and Earth Sciences. He is currently appointed to the Water Sciences Unit of the Yucatan Center for Scientific Research (CICY) in the City of Cancun. He is interested in the study of biogeochemical cycles and wetlands. He has conducted research on the nitrogen cycle in surface and groundwater, nutrients in coastal wetlands, distribution and fate of agrochemicals, and the impact of wastewater on the environment. As part of the research and teaching activities, he is interested in communicating the results to specialized and non-specialized public so that the information generated is used as decision-making tools through links with industry and government.
