Born in 1964, Jesus Dubert graduated in theoretical Physics in 1989 in Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain), obtained his DEA in 1993 and his PhD Thesis in 1998 in Physical oceanography, both from the Université de Bretagne Occidentale in Brest (France). He teached at the Physics department of the University of Aveiro, (1998-2023) different subjects related to oceanography, meteorology and physics. From October 2023 Jesus moved to the Marine Research Institute of CSIC, in Vigo, Spain, where he got a permanent position as Scientific Researcher. His main research areas are physical processes of the continental shelf, physical-biological interaction processes on the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula. To address these research topics and to elucidate the main mechanisms involved, he integrates tools from several disciplinary areas, such as numerical modelling in physical oceanography, in combination with in situ observational programmes. In parallel with these interests he developed research in biogeochemical modelling, and in marine ecology, concerning connectivity processes and larval dispersal in estuarine and coastal ecosystems. The research developed also contributed to the training of students, through the inclusion of topics and teaching methods that arise directly from the research topics, in articulation and complementarity with the curricular goals of each discipline. He produced 55 scientific articles in indexed international review which received 2000 citations (1795 without self-citations), with an average of 36 citations per article, resulting in an h-index of 21. He was supervisor or co-supervisor of 6 post-doctoral researchers, 8 PhD students (plus 2 ongoing), 9 MSc students. The most relevant curricular units he coordinates are Remote Sensing and Dynamic Oceanography (1st Cycle), Large Scale Oceanographic Processes (2nd Cycle), Modelling and Observing systems (3rd Cycle). Other relevant subjects that he coordinated or taught in the past were Physical Oceanography, Geophysical Data Analysis (1st Cycle), or Coastal Physical Oceanography and Advanced Dynamic Oceanography (2nd Cycle). He was coordinator of 3 national projects, institutional coordinator of 6 national projects, and 3 international projects, team coordinator of 5 national projects, and team member in 11 international, national or cooperation projects. He was member of the coordinating committee of 2 PhD programs in the area of marine sciences offered by the University of Aveiro: -Do*Mar, Science, Technology and Sea Management-, in collaboration with universities in northern Portugal and Galicia, and, -Environmental and Sea Sciences-, in collaboration with the Universities of Porto and Algarve. During the period 2006-2021, he was Vice-Director of the Associated Laboratory CESAM: Centre for Environment and Marine Studies, University of Aveiro.
