Leonardo Castro Cifuentes
Outstanding Research
Marine Biologist from the Universidad de Concepción, MSc in Marine Environmental Sciences and Ph.D. in Coastal Oceanography from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
Professor at the Universidad de Concepción, he was Director of the M.Sc. in Fisheries, of the Doctorate Program in Oceanography, and of the Department of Oceanography. He also was Committee Member of the CIMAR-Fiordos Program, Director of the working group Biología I in FONDECYT, and Committee Member of SPACC in GLOBEC.
Along his scientific career, he has been working on subjects such as larval ecology, fisheries oceanography, reproductive strategies and carbon flux in zooplankton. Within the Plankton group in IDEAL, his research work includes the study of the role in the trophic web and the spatial dynamics of key species and functional groups such as of Munida gregaria, euphausiids and ichthyoplankton in the Patagonian ecosystem, transport/retention processes in fjords and channels, and the ecology of the early life stages of invertebrates and fishes.

José Garcés-Vargas
Professor at the Institute of Marine and Limnological Sciences in the Faculty of Sciences at the University Austral of Chile. Oceanographer at the Superior Polytechnic School of Litoral, Ecuador, and has a PhD in Oceanography at the University of Concepcion.
Dr. Vargas studies the interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere, with special emphasis on the El Niño-Southern Oscillation. He relies primarily on data coming from models and satellite sensors. He also researches stratification processes in estuaries and fjords.

She did her postdoctoral fellow at the Yale Climate and Energy Institute (YCEI) at Yale University, United States.
She has been a project evaluator for the Chilean Antarctic Institute (INACH), the National Agency for Science and Technology Promotion of Argentina (ANPCyT) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) of the United States.
Dr. Piñones' line of research deals with the physical and biological interactions of the marine ecosystems and how they are influenced by climate change. She is also using numerical modeling as a tool for investigating the role of ocean dynamics on transport and the connectivity of marine organisms on different spatial and temporal scales.
