UFSC Main Campus
Coastal Oceanography Laboratory UFSC
UFSC s Barra da Lagoa Research Station LOC
Objectives and Structure Created in 1999, the main objective of LOC is the oceanographic characterization of transitional coastal systems such as bays, lagoons, estuaries, beaches and the inner continental shelf with an emphasis on its dynamics and morphodynamical behavior For that, the group has an expertise on proposing methodological strategies for integrated data analysis, being the laboratory actually composed by five different sectors: Data Integration and Analysis; Marine Sedimentology, Micropaleontology, Coastal and Marine Applied Geophysics and Water Quality Analysis, occupying an area of 300 m2.
