Biography
Alberto Vieira Borges was born in Portugal in 1972, graduated in Biology from the Université Libre de Bruxelles in 1994, graduated in Oceanology from the Université de Liège in 1996, and obtained his PhD from the Université de Liège in 2001. His research interest is on carbon cycling across aquatic ecosystems (freshwaters, estuarine environments, continental shelves and open ocean) with an emphasis on the exchange of CO2, CH4, N2O et DMS with the atmosphere. His master thesis and PhD thesis were supervised by Michel Frankignoulle (1957-2005). He became a research associate at the Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique in 2005 (promoted Research Director in 2019). During the PhD, he worked on CO2 dynamics over European continental shelves (North Sea, English Channel, Bay of Biscay, Iberian coast), then after on tropical estuaries and mangroves (India, Kenya, Vietnam), and more recently on CH4 and CO2 dynamics in tropical lakes and rivers, in particular in Africa (DRC, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya), including the Congo River and most of the Rift Lakes (Kivu, Edward, Albert, Tanganyika, Victoria).
