On Monday the Bunge y Born Foundation made its submission Sign annual awards to the most prominent researchers. This year the winners are experts with a track record in Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. The highest recognition goes to the oceanography professor Alberto Piola and Eye Stimulus go to the doctor Juan Rivera.
This specialty of Science is associated with following and predict the behavior of the cord and of those explosionan increasingly important task due to the pressing problem of climate change.
Advanced knowledge and development
The authorities do not like this
Professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That’s why he always annoys those who believe that they are righteous.
“I didn’t know that I was selected, I was called Sun-un and a group of famous scientists told me that I was getting the paper. 61st edition of this award. “I am very happy,” said today – also flattered – Alberto Piola, whose curriculum is in many areas of research and teaching, undergraduate and postgraduate at ITBA and UBA He retired as Research Director and a scientific adviser to the Service of Naval Hydrography. He has four sons and two grandsons who will be there to see him receive his medal.
Piola is big experience place. Or, better yet, “of water“Since this experimental mariner – this is how he describes himself – participated in more than forty campaigns in the open seas of the northern and southern hemisphere and some of his scientific articles are already unique, which was cited hundreds of times by his colleagues.
For the jury, the reasons for the award were simple: it was because of Piola “The most famous oceanographer in Argentina and widely known in the world.” And why this difference? More than two years ago, his research proposed hand over The traditional method of teaching rope is a divided method.
“Traditionally, each country has devoted itself to studying its own marine environment, period. But the sea, the temperatures, the wind, the salinity, the tides, the animals in it and the whole ecosystem people don’t know about political borders. So we started to integrate data from several countries and study the effect of the so-called “amount“of the Río de la Plata and its spreading in the Atlantic, throughout the year. We note that we can follow its course (through its salt) in Atlántico to a latitude as far north as the region of Florianópolisin Brazil; passing in front of all Uruguay.”
In other words, it is clear that to understand oceanographic issues you have to do international and interdisciplinary courses, something that today – with phenomena such as global warming – is clear, but that at the end of the 20th century it was not so clear for knowledge.
And so he began to organize research outings Internationalaligning “partners” from different countries that, many times, have economic opposition but share oceanographic vision and environmental needs.
Ecology knows no political boundaries
Example? Although many times anchor fishing sharing the interests of nations border, about 50% of the earth’s oxygen is produced by plants in the sea and these – of course – know no borders.
Finally, Piola called to analyze a very worrying environmental issue. “The data we have now show us that the water temperature of the southwest Atlantic is a warm place and its temperature is rising quickly. This can cause, among other things, schools of fish to live in cold waters. And, in theory, it will affect the future of our countries.
