Dr. Juan Cruz Carbajal is a researcher and assistant lecturer at the Departamento de Ciencias de la Atmósfera y los Océanos (DCAO) at the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA). He earned his doctoral degree from UBA, conducting his Ph.D research at the Centro para el Estudio de Sistemas Marinos (CESIMAR, CONICET) in Puerto Madryn, and later completed postdoctoral studies at the Centro Austral de Investigaciones Científicas (CADIC, CONICET) in Ushuaia, Argentina.
Dr. Carbajal is a physical oceanographer whose research focuses on mesoscale processes associated with fronts and eddies that shape the structure and dynamics of the water column. His work also explores the connections between physical processes and ocean biogeochemistry in the southern sector of the Southwest Atlantic Ocean, with particular emphasis on Burdwood Bank and Yaganes.
Juan Cruz has participated in numerous national and international oceanographic expeditions, accumulating more than 150 days at sea. During the Falkor (too) expedition Life in Extremes, he leads the physical oceanography component, collaborating with a colleague from ISMER/UQAR (Canada) to analyze multi-instrument physical datasets and, in close collaboration with other groups, investigate the dynamics of deep-sea ecosystems associated with cold seeps.
