Patrick Raimbault, Directeur de Recherche at CNRS, leader of numerous oceanographic projects in the field of biogeochemistry in coastal and open ocean waters with twenty years of professional activity on oceanic cycle of biogenic elements and marine productivity. Recent works have been centered on new chemical and isotopic procedures offering a complete investigation of carbon and nitrogen pools and fluxes in marine environments. Field works are conducted in the framework of national and international programmes (PNEC, PROOF, JGOFS) directed towards a better knowledge of biogeochemical cycle in marine environments, and especially in the Mediterranean Sea.

Dov Rosen, coastal and marine scientist, thirty years of professional activity in laboratory physical and numerical modeling and in field studies of sediment transport processes, ICZM, meta oceanographic parameters monitoring, statistics and forecasting, interactions of waves and currents vs fixed and floating structures, sea level monitoring, analysis and forecasting.

Member of IAHR, PIANC, ASCE, ASBPA professional associations. Head, Department of Marine Geology & Coastal Processes, Israel Oceanographic & Limnological Research, Haifa, Israel.
