LOC

Objectives and Structure

► Created in 1999, the main objective of LOC is the oceanographiccharacterization of transitional coastal systems such as bays, lagoons,estuaries, beaches and the inner continental shelf with an emphasis onits dynamics and morphodynamical behavior

► For that, the group has an expertise on proposing methodologicalstrategies for integrated data analysis, being the laboratory actuallycomposed by five different sectors: Data Integration and Analysis;Marine Sedimentology, Micropaleontology, Coastal and Marine AppliedGeophysics and Water Quality Analysis, occupying an area of 300 m2.
