Ramiro Neves Professor of Fluid Mechanics and Environmental Modelling, Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon and coordinator of the MARETEC-IST Research Group, Lisboa, Portugal. Ramiro Neves is Professor of Fluid Mechanics and Environmental Modelling at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon and coordinator of the MARETEC-IST research group. He has been instrumental to the development of the MOHID modelling system which includes integrated models for free surface systems (MOHID Water) and for catchments (MOHID Land). He has participated in more than 30 international projects and 12 projects funded by the National Science Foundation. Francisco Campuzano Oceanographer, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. Francisco Campuzano is an oceanographer at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, with a PhD in Environmental Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal. He has been involved in research projects at the regional, national and international level in diverse subject areas from assessing ecological status to numerical modelling for the MARETEC group. He represents IST in the WGOOFE ICES Working Group and serves on two EuroGOOS working groups, IBI-ROOS and Coastal WG. Most recently he has been involved in the development of oceanographic operational systems linking watersheds, estuaries and the open ocean. Juan Moreno Navas Research Associate, Physical Oceanography Research Group, University of Malaga, Spain. Juan Moreno Navas is an oceanographer and hydrodynamic modeller. He graduated from with a PhD from Stirling University. He is a research associate in the Physical Oceanography Research Group, University of Málaga. Lately, he has been involved in the development of hydrodynamic models to support port environmental management and operations.
