Before starting on an academic path, Cara worked as a field surveyor and research assistance for different ecological research projects. In 2020, she graduated from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem after finishing a double major (B.Sc.) in Life Sciences and Environmental Sciences. After taking a course at the Interuniversity Institute of Eilat (IUI) on marine sedimentology in the Red Sea, she became familiar with the subject of bioturbation. She is continuing to investigate this subject in her master’s thesis at the Leon H. Charney School of Marine Sciences, University of Haifa.

Unearthing the mound of the Gulf of Aqaba-Eilat, northern Red Sea
Supervisors: Beverly Goodman-Tchernov, Timor Katz, and Gitai Yahel
The mounds of the Gulf of Aqaba are widespread underwater features on the continental shelf at the North Beach. This bioturbation activity alters the ecosystem and constantly changes the seafloor morphology, indicating significant environmental engineering processes. To date, no research has been conducted on these features, despite the fact that they might impact other marine research dealing with environmental conditions. In this research, we hope to supply a piece of updated preliminary data about the mounds and the way these changes are contributing to the marine environment in the Red Sea.
