Marc Oliva holds a PhD in Geography from the Universitat de
Barcelona, where he works now as research scientist and leads a
research group on Antarctic, Arctic and Alpine Environments. He has
carried out research and teaching activities in universities of
Portugal, Canada, Switzerland, Spain and Russia. He has
participated in tens of expeditions to Antarctica and the High
Arctic. Apart from the Polar Regions, he has also conducted
research in other mountain regions (Rocky Mountains, Alps, N
Iceland, Pamir, Tien Shan, Pyrenees, and Cantabrian Mountains),
which has provided him a wide comprehension of Earth surface
processes in cold-climate environments. His research interests
include the study of geomorphological processes and past
environments and climate in the Polar Regions and high mountains
using a wide range of natural records (glacial, periglacial, and
lacustrine).
Jesús Ruiz-Fernández is Assistant Professor at the University of
Oviedo (Spain). His research experience includes over a decade of
participation in various projects of national and international
research; his current research activity is mainly focused on the
quaternary and present-day environmental evolution of polar regions
(Antarctica, Greenland) and mountain areas, as well as the study of
natural hazards (mainly large snowfalls and snow avalanches). He
has participated in the organization of scientific conferences and
meetings, coordinated conference cycles, and conducted several
research internship in universities and national and foreign
centers. Dr. Ruiz-Fernández is a member of the Spanish Society of
Geomorphology, the Spanish Association of Geography, the Permafrost
Young Researchers Network (PYRN), and a corresponding member of the
Royal Institute of Asturian Studies (RIDEA).
