Cindy Tavares Barreto
MSc in Biology of the Continental Aquatic Environments Biology Program.
I am a biologist and environmental manager. I am responsible for the analysis of the trace elements and organic contaminants effects in seabirds, after the rupture of Fundão dam in Mariana city, Minas Gerais, Brazil, through ‘Programa de Monitoramento da Biodiversidade Aquática da Rede Rio Doce Mar’. I am also closely involved with most of the laboratory activities, from bird collection to studies with the diet of different bird species and trace element analysis. I concluded my master's degree in 2013, studying water birds as indicators of metal contamination in wetlands in southern Brazil, quantifying Cd and Pb in feathers, eggs, and blood of Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja) and Great Egret (Ardea alba), in limnetic and estuarine environments.
