Emerging applications: environmental studies and physical oceanography

Beyond the themes of “Solid Earth”, the Equipment will also help address emerging challenges in relation to the preservation of the planet and sustainable development, e.g.:

Oceanography:
  • sea-level fluctuation
  • coastal dynamics
  • oceanic dynamics at different scales of space and time suc as swell, internal waves, basin oscillations, mass balances
Environment:
  • monitoring of anthropogenic impacts such as ocean noise pollution
  • coastal erosion
Biology:
  • monitoring of marine mammals
  • study of seabed processes such as bioturbation, listening to species living on the seabed, degassing...
