Luigi Cavaleri, b. 1940. Degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1965, Master of Aeronautics at California Institute of Technology (California, USA) 1969. Since 1969 working at CNR-ISMAR. Main areas of interest: sea waves (theory, forecasting models, physics, measures) and related topics.

Marco Bajo, degree in Physics at the University of Padua, PhD in Environmental Sciences at Ca' Foscari University of Venice. He collaborates with CNR-ISMAR with an interest in maritime circulation and sea level forecasting. His research focuses on observation and models describing the hydrodynamic  evolution in a sea environment.
