Research objectives

The work of the group is aiming at:

  • understanding marine systems by means of conceptual models.
  • development of complex numerical models of natural waters including astronomical tides, general circulations, mixing, water masses, transport of dissolved and suspended matter.
  • application of models to the real ocean, to shelf seas and estuaries, lakes and rivers.
  • analysis of observational and numerical data.
  • improvement of numerical algorithms and computational techniques.
