Laboratory of Oceanology and Geosciences (LOG)

Research unit - UMR 8187

Description

Our laboratory conducts multidisciplinary research in oceanology and geosciences, mainly in the coastal and coastal fields. In oceanology, our research focuses on marine ecology, biogeochemistry and physical oceanography. In geosciences, research focuses on the sedimentary domain, focusing on coastal dynamics, geochemistry, paleo-environments and tectonic deformations in basins. The Eastern Channel is our preferred study site but we are also studying other systems such as the North Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Southern Ocean... Our activities are divided into observation, experimentation and modelling.
