Emma Huertas

Investigadora Principal

Emma Huertas holds a Ph.D. in Marine Sciences (Extraordinary award in 1998) granted by the University of Cádiz and she is currently a Tenured Scientist at the Institute of Marine Sciences of Andalucia (ICMAN-CSIC) since 2007.

Background
Previously (2004-2007), she was hired as a Ramón y Cajal Researcher at the same institution after completing a 2.6 year Post-Doctoral period (1999 and 2002) at the Universities of York and Toronto (Canada). Her main research interests lie within the field of marine biogeochemistry. Particularly, her grants and projects focus on the study of the role of the ocean in the Earth's climate system, characterizing the contribution of the marine realm (including both coastal and open ocean regions) to the exchange of greenhouse gases (GHGs) with the atmosphere. Likewise, she investigates the consequences of the marine absorption of atmospheric CO2 on the chemistry of seawater (ocean acidification) and its impact on organisms, from planktonic to higher trophic levels. Her field studies have been mostly conducted in marine eco-regions located in the South of the Iberian Peninsula, such as the Gulf of Cadiz and the Strait of Gibraltar although she has also performed extensive research in unique coastal systems, such as the massive Guadalquivir estuary and the wetlands of the Doñana National Park. She established (in 2005) and manages the fixed ocean observatory GIFT (Gibraltar Fixed Time Series) that provides data to databases of international agencies involved in the control of climate change. Her research outcomes also contribute to a number of international programs.

Scientific career summary

• She has participated in more than 20 research projects, 8 of which are European funded, with a role of principal investigator in 4 of them. The rest of her grants have been funded by different Spanish and Regional Ministries and Public Administrations, and she has coordinated 10 of them.
• She has taken part in 17 oceanographic campaigns, in 12 of them as chief scientist.
• She has published more than 75 scientific articles, reports, datasets and book chapters, 50 of them in SCI journals.
• She has supervised three post-doctoral researchers, two P.D. theses and a number of undergraduate and Master's students. Currently, she is directing two more Ph. D. Thesis.
• At present, she is the Deputy Director of the ICMAN-CSIC (from 2015), member of the Scientific Advisory Committeeof the CSIC, of the Organismo Autónomo de Parques Nacionales, of the international Advisory Committee of the ICTS Doñana and CSIC representative in the Governing Boards of the Natural Parks of Gibraltar and Bahia de Cadiz.
• Previously (2010-2017), she acted as a Deputy Coordinator for the National Agency for Evaluation and Prospective (ANEP) in the area of Earth Sciences and as a member of the Executive board of ICOS (2010-2013).
• Currently, she is also the coordinator of the CSIC Interdisciplinary Thematic Platform WATER:iOS (Warming and acidification threats on ecosystem resources: i Ocean surveillance, https://pti-waterios.csic.es/).
• She has been requested as an expert for different national and international evaluation agencies, such as the AEI, ICREA, the Basque Government, the Belgian FNRS, the Université Libre de Bruxelles, the Argentinian ANPCy and the EC (more than 15 calls of H2020 and Horizon Europe).
• She reviews manuscripts for more than 20 top international journals and is also a lecturer in graduated programs of different universities (scientific tracked records in the CVA provided).

The current and future research interests of Prof. Viguri are related to the design of waste recovery processes, development and application of resource management tactics and decision making on process systems towards sustainability and circular economy:

Characterization, control, environmental evaluation and sustainable management of industrial waste and marine sediments. Strategies and practices related to knowledge management and decision-making processes in the waste area.
Design of processes and systems that include the integration between available flows of matter and energy, integrating aspects

addressed by the group such as Process System-Biorefinery-Decision making tools-Resources valorization.
Analysis and modeling of trace elements release from natural and anthropogenic matrices (sediments, guano and sunscreen) to the

environment.
Since 1992, he has taught subjects in the area of Chemical Engineering in different degrees and currently in the Degree in Chemical Engineering and Degree in Engineering in Industrial Technologies. Participates in teaching in the third cycle of the Official Postgraduate Program (Master and Doctorate) with a Mention of Quality MEC "Chemical and Process Engineering" (1994/2013); currently participates in the "Official Master's Degree in Research in Industrial Engineering" of the UC as well as in the Doctorate Program "Industrial Engineering" of the UC.

Ignacio González

Catedrático de Universidad

JIGG: Degree in Biology from the University of Seville (1995) and PhD in Marine Sciences from the University of Cádiz (1999) (Annual PhD Award). The first line of research focused on the taxonomic study of crustacean larval stages, a line that, in general terms, the researcher is still developing. During the years of undergraduate and doctoral studies, the researcher publishes 14 scientific articles (8 in SCI).

In 2001, he started the postdoctoral stage thanks to a grant from the Ministry of Science and Technology of Portugal. During this two-year stay, he began a second line of research, in which he delved into the study of the coupling of physical and biological processes that determine the dispersal and recruitment patterns of littoral benthic organisms. Linked to this stay, 5 scientific articles are published.
In 2004, a contract was obtained with the Ramón y Cajal Program, which is developed in the Department of Biology (Ecology Area) of the University of Cádiz, thus initiating the teaching career together with the researcher. During this period (2004-2008) he led the creation of a new research team whose lines of work focus on the morphology and ecology of marine zooplankton organisms and leads a Research Project of the National Plan. In addition, he participates as a researcher in two other Projects of Excellence of the Junta de Andalucía. He is also part of the Organizing Committee of an International Congress and participates in several oceanographic campaigns. At the end of this period, the ANEP grants a positive evaluation as a Researcher with Outstanding Scientific Career (Program I3). This Evaluation, together with the Accreditation of Contracted Doctor Professor (ANECA), enables hiring in January 2009, with the category of Contracted Doctor Professor.

In December 2009, ANECA granted the researcher accreditation to access the Body of University Professors, taking possession of said position in August 2010. In 2015, ANECA obtained the University Professor Accreditation, taking possession in.
