Mariela Declet Perez

Her research explores human ecodynamics, emphasizing human adaptation to climate change, atmospheric events, and challenging events (i.e., hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes). She uses techniques from paleoclimatology, geoarchaeology, and zooarchaeology, and integrates local knowledge of local communities to reconstruct past marine ecosystems and climate conditions. She is a researcher at both the Scripps Center for Marine Archaeology and the Human Ecology Lab at UCSD, and works on marine ecosystem restoration to protect cultural heritage on the coastline and create green infrastructure to protect against erosion and storm surges.
