U-Julio M. Morell

USolwazi Morell uphinde wabamba iqhaza emizamweni yocwaningo lwezinhlaka ezahlukene ekuhlonzeni umthelela wamapayipi amakhulu emifula (i-Orinoco ne-Amazon) kanye nezinqubo ze-mesoscale, njengama-eddies namaza angaphakathi, kuhlamvu lwe-optical, ngokomzimba kanye ne-biogeochemical emanzini aseMpumalanga ye-Caribbean. Izinhloso zocwaningo lwakamuva zihlanganisa ukuvezwa okuhlukahlukene kwesimo sezulu kanye ne-acidification yolwandle endaweni yethu yolwandle kanye nogu.

USolwazi Morell uye wabheka ulwandle njengendawo yakhe yokuzijabulisa; lokho kuphinde kwamenza wazi ngezidingo zolwazi lwasogwini ezibhekene nemikhakha eyahlukene yemiphakathi yaseCaribbean. Sekuyiminyaka engaphezu kweshumi, uProf. Morell egxile ekuthuthukisweni kanye ne-CARICOOS ngenhloso yokuhlinzeka ngezidingo ezishiwo. Lokhu kudinga ukusebenzelana okuqhubekayo kwemikhakha yababambe iqhaza kanye nokwakha ubudlelwano bamasu nocwaningo olubalulekile, ezemfundo, izinhlangano zikahulumeni, zikahulumeni nezizimele ezenze i-CARICOOS yaba ngokoqobo. I-CARICOOS ihlinzeka ngemininingwane ebalulekile nolwazi ekusekeleni imiphakathi ephephile yasogwini nengqalasizinda, imisebenzi yasolwandle ephephile nephumelelayo kanye nokuphathwa kwemithombo yasogwini.

Phakathi kweminye imisebenzi, usebenza njengomeluleki kuMkhandlu Wokuguquguquka Kwesimo Sezulu wasePuerto Rico, uhlelo lwe-UPR Sea Grant kanye ne-Jobos Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve.
