Partecipants

CNR – Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Italy (Coordinator)

Paolo Domenici (PhD in Zoology, UBC Vancouver) is the coordinator of the project. He is a research director at CNR. He has led the EU funded project ETHOFISH and led and managed various nationally funded projects at CNR IAMC. His expertise is on physiological ecology of marine organisms, conservation physiology, experimental ecology (MPA assessment) and behaviour. Specifically, he has carried out extensive research on the effect of environmental processes (warming, acidification, hypoxia) on the physiology, ecology and behavior of marine animals. He has edited 4 books and special issues of international journals, and has published >80 refereed papers and book chapters.

Stefano Marras (PhD in Animal Physiology, University of Montpellier) is an ecophysiologist whose recent work has focused on conservation physiology and fish energetics.

Andrea Cucco is an oceanographic modeler with experience in ecological models based on physiological data

CEAZA – Centro de Estudios Avanzados en Zonas Árida, Chile

Patricio H. Manríquez (PhD in Biological Sciences, University of North Wales, U.K.) is a researcher at CEAZA (Center for Advanced Research in Arid Zones). He has led the first Chilean collaborative research on Ocean Acidification and led and managed various nationally funded projects. His has expertise in ecology of marine organisms, experimental ecology and behaviour. Specifically, he has carried out research on reproductive biology, larval and invertebrate behaviour and the consequences of elevated CO2 levels and temperature in several traits of the early ontogeny of marine invertebrates. He has published >40 refereed papers.

Rodrigo Torres (PhD in Chemistry, University of Gothenburg) is a researcher at CIEP (Research Centre of Aquatic Ecosystems). He is the director of investigation of the department of aquatic systems of CIEP. He has conducted research focused on the biogeochemistry of marine coastal systems. He has published >30 refereed papers.

UHH – Universität Hamburg, Germany

Myron A. Peck (PhD Biol. Oceanography, URI) is a full professor of Experimental Biological Oceanography at the University of Hamburg. Prof. Peck’s research advances understanding of the ecophysiological responses of marine organisms to changes in interacting abiotic factors and integrates this knowledge into various models to increase predictive capacity of how species and systems will change under future ocean conditions. He has published ~100 peer reviewed articles, is the co-chair of the ICESPICES SICCME (Strategic Initiative on Climate Change Impacts of Marine Ecosystems) and Editor in Chief of Marine Ecology Progress Series.

CONICET – Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Argentina

Daniel Fernández is a director of the Ecology, Physiology and Evolution of aquatic Organisms laboratory at Ushuaia since 2009, and have been recently appointed (December 2015) Director of the Institute for Polar Science, Environment and Natural Resources of the National University of Tierra del Fuego. The laboratory has worked for more than 20 years on ecology and physiology of fishes and invertebrates focusing in recent years on the effects on temperature on the metabolism and distribution of species and therefore on the biodiversity of the region, especially in connection to Antarctica.

María Eugenia Lattuca is a researcher who has been working in Ushuaia and northern Patagonia mainly on the thermal physiology of galaxiids.
