 Main Fields of Activity
 
      

The Oceanographic Research Unit collects and manages oceanographic, biological and ecological data by means several field of activities:

- Definition of circulation, dynamics and interdisciplinary studies for water mass circulation (Adriatic sea, Ross sea Antarctica);

- Estimation of circulation and horizontal water fluxes and nutrients transport; NRT meteorological and hydrological data acquisition for hystorical data collection;

- Study of main physics parameters along water column : pressure, temperature, salinity, fluorescence, turbidity,etc;

- Ennvironmental monitoring through sea water samples: chemical parameters analysis (dissolved oxigen, pH, Phosphate, Nitrate, Nitrite, Ammonia, Silicate, etc) and biological parameters analysis (Phytoplankton Pigments);

- Study of biogeochemical processes in the water column, in the water sediment interface and interactions of pollutants and xenobiotics in marine sediments and fish.
