Enrique Montes is an Associate Scientists studying physical and biological controls of marine biogeochemical cycles, biodiversity and ecosystems. His research combines multiple techniques that merge in situ measurement of environmental properties, bio-optics, and taxonomic observations collected from ships with satellite data to decipher the oceanographic context of local measurements and resolve biogeographic patterns and species distributions. In the USA, he is co-leading the development of the Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON) co-sponsored by several agencies including NASA, NOAA, and BOEM. Montes is the Principal Investigator of the MBON Pole-to-Pole of the Americas, a NASA-funded collaborative effort aimed at implementing a framework for detecting and understanding biodiversity change across marine habitats of the Americas, from the Arctic to Antarctica. Montes is an Executive Committee member of the International Association for Biological Oceanography (IABO) and the World Association of Marine Stations (WAMS).
