Dr Adam Gauci is a data scientist at the Oceanography Malta Research Group. He has been involved in a number of projects including the setting up of the CALYPSO HF Radar System to monitor in real-time sea surface currents across the Malta Channel, as well as the installation of a number of meteo-marine observation stations around the Maltese islands. Adam obtained his Ph.D. with the Department of Intelligent Computer Systems at the University of Malta with research on the applications of Machine Learning techniques on mega-dimensional datasets. When not chasing mermaids, he lectures with the Department of Geosciences within the Faculty of Science.

Graduate and Master of Science in Physical Oceanography at the Russian State Hydrometeorological University, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation (1994). PhD in Marine Sciences at the University of Cádiz, Spain (2000). I enjoy the Ocean in its complex diversity: From climate to small-scale processes, I like all applications of Oceanography to solve different tasks. Modelling is a beautiful tool to work with.
Aldo Drago
Prof. Aldo Drago is responsible for the concept behind the SEA-EU Marine Data Literacy course. He was formerly the Co-Ordinator of the Physical Oceanography Research Group (PO-Res. Grp., ex Physical Oceanography Unit, PO-Unit) within the Department of Geosciences. The PO-Res.Grp undertakes oceanographic research, in a holistic perspective, including operational marine observations and forecasts, specialised data management analysis and participation in international cooperative research ventures. The PO-Res.Grp promotes activities in operational oceanography with the installation and maintenance of permanent sea monitoring systems, and the provision of meteo-marine forecasts and related downstream services. Under his direction, the PO-Res.Grp has strengthened its activities, know-how and capability through the participation in several EU funded regional and pan-European scientific projects, INTERREG and MED Programme projects.
