He is a “Corresponding Academician” [Académico Correspondiente] of the National Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences in Bahía Blanca. Besides, his long research career on the analysis of oceans covers several countries but particularly the Argentine Sea, where he conducted most of his scientific production.
