Dr. in Marine Ecology by the University of the Balearic Islands (October 2016).
Inés graduated in Biology in the Cumplutense University of Madrid with a specialization in Environmental Sciences, in 2010. She then joined the Global Change Research Group of the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies (IMEDEA-CSIC) in Mallorca where she participated in different projects related to the effects of Global Change in marine ecosystems. There she also conducted her PhD thesis funded by a fellowship from the Government of The Balearic Is. Her thesis focused on the assessment of the role seagrass meadows play as carbon sinks and their potential for climate change mitigation. Thanks to a research fellowship “Beca Iberoamericana Santander Investigación” from the “Santander Universidades” foundation, Inés conducted a four months stay in the Centro de Investigación en Ciencias del Mar y Limnología (CIMAR) at the University of Costa Rica (October 2016) to contribute to the first assessment of the carbon sink capacity of seagrass meadows of the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica.
She is particularly interested in coastal ecosystems ecology, the role they play in climate change mitigation, both as carbon sinks and as coastal protection, and their vulnerability to human pressures: eutrophication, erosion and pollution.
Since 2004, she has worked on several coastal engineering projects at the Environmental Hydraulics Institute IH Cantabria.

María Recio has a degree in Biology from the University of Oviedo. She is currently a Ph.D student at the IH Cantabria, where she is completing her doctoral thesis entitled "Methods for the assessment of the littoral habitat conservation status in the context of the Natura 2000 network".
Their research interests are focused on the study of the littoral vegetation. She mainly analyzes the distribution and the conservation status of the estuarine and sediment dune systems, and their response to the anthropogenical stressors.
Based on these studies, María has participated in several national and international projects.

José A Juanes de la Peña es Doctor en Ciencias Biológicas, Profesor Titular de Universidad adscrito al Instituto de Hidráulica Ambiental de la Universidad de Cantabria (IH Cantabria). Desde 1982 ha desarrollado su investigación en diferentes campos de la ecohidrología y la hidráulica ambiental. Ha participado en numerosos proyectos a nivel nacional y europeo relacionados con la evaluación, el diagnóstico, el análisis de riesgos y la gestión integrada de sistemas acuáticos.
Ha publicado más de 70 artículos en revistas científicas, así como numerosas colaboraciones en libros y revistas divulgativas, con mayor incidencia en el campo de la ecología litoral y de la gestión ambiental de actuaciones (e.g vertidos al mar) y actividades humanas (e.g puertos) en dicho medio.
Desde 2007 es el Director del Máster Oficial en Gestión Ambiental de Sistemas Hídricos (GASH) y del Programa de Doctorado asociado a éste (CTGASH), coordinando la gestión de la docencia oficial de posgrado del IH Cantabria, a través de los órganos colegiados de la Escuela de Caminos, Canales y Puertos y de la Escuela de Doctorado de la Universidad de Cantabria (EDUC), y la formación especializada y continuada, en colaboración con otras entidades.
15 años de experiencia en Planificación Hidrológica e Ingeniería Hidráulica. Comenzó su carrera en la Universidad de Cantabria, desarrollando asistencias técnicas a empresas y organismos públicos, así como proyectos de I+D relacionados con la ingeniería de puertos y costas. Después trabajó cuatro años en la empresa SENER Ingeniería y Sistemas S.A., como responsable de área de negocio, director de proyectos e ingeniero especialista.
Desde 2004 ha trabajado como consultor independiente en Planificación Hidrológica e Ingeniería Hidráulica, principalmente para organismos públicos. A partir del año 2008, su actividad ha estado ligada al Instituto de Hidráulica Ambiental de Cantabria: en proyectos de hidrología, abastecimiento y saneamiento, riesgos y cambio climático, gobernanza y gestión del agua, ingeniería de costas, etc.
Iñaki Silanes has a degree in Chemistry from the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU), and a PhD in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry from the same University. He joined the IH in May 2010 as a member of the IT team, and his main task is to manage the center's supercomputing resources.
Previously Iñaki worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC), and in the IT service of the Instituto de Física de Cantabria (IFCA).

His research focuses on relational database observation models and geospatial apps (Web and desktop). One of his main lines of research is the management of environmental data and dynamic use through the development of Environmental Management Systems and Decision Support Systems (DSSs).
Currently, the coordination tasks of the IH-IT Teamfocuses on three main aspects: centralizing the computational capacity, developing Technology Transfer Products and promoting the good use of Information Technology at IH Cantabria.
Professionally, he began his career as a graduate in 2004 in the Information Technology Multinational STERIA as a systems engineer. In October 2005, he began researching in the field of fluid mechanics, technical hydraulics, physical oceanography and water quality, first in the Submarine Outfall and Environmental Hydraulics Group of the University of Cantabria and later as part of IH Cantabria. Since then he has made participated in several studies, covering various topics such as mathematical modeling of water resources management, the study of hydraulics and transport and mixing using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the water quality modeling in rivers, estuaries and coastal areas, the outfall modeling and design, the sewage systems modeling and flooding studies. In turn, Javi obtained the Venia Docendi grant from the Department of Water Science and Technology and Environment for teaching undergraduate courses (Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics and Hydrology II) and graduate courses (Assessment of the polluting processes effects; Integral design of sewage systems and coastal discharges),caurses in which he has assisted as a teacher since 2006.
Her research focuses mainly on numerical modelling of transport and fate of oil spills in the marine environment, operational oceanography, development of methodologies and tools to support spill response planning and numerical modelling of storm surge and astronomical tide.
She has been involved in several Spanish National Science projects (Plan Nacional) and international (Interreg program) projects. She is currently the leader of several projects belonging to the Spanish National Plan.
