Julio M. Morell

Unjingalwazi uMorell ukwathathe inxaxheba kwiinzame zophando lwezifundo ezahlukeneyo malunga nokuchonga ifuthe lemibhobho emikhulu yemilambo (i-Orinoco ne-Amazon) kunye neenkqubo ze-mesoscale, ezinje ngeeeddies kunye namaza angaphakathi, kwi-optical, physical and biogeochemical character of Eastern Caribbean water. Okujoliswe kuko kophando lwakutsha nje kubandakanya ukubonakaliswa kwemozulu kunye ne-asidi yolwandle kwindawo yethu yolwandle kunye nonxweme.

I-CARICOOS inikezela ngedatha ebalulekileyo kunye nolwazi ukuxhasa iindawo zokuhlala ezikhuselekileyo ezingaselunxwemeni kunye neziseko zophuhliso, imisebenzi yaselwandle ekhuselekileyo nesebenzayo kunye nolawulo lobutyebi bonxweme.
