Strategic Focus
We carry out undergraduate and postgraduate research projects on Sea Sciences. - We deliver extension services in areas such as oceanography, ecology, and integrated management.
We organize and participate in regional, national, and international academic events on physical, chemical, biological, geological, and social oceanography. Through teaching and research, the group contributes to generating a “research culture.” It encourages awareness about the conservation, recovery, and sustainable use of natural resources in Colombia's coastal and maritime areas. The continuous development and strengthening of the group's research areas—and the strategies it proposes—contribute to its consolidation as a leading research group regionally.
Research Areas and Topics
- Ocean numerical modeling.
- Geomorphology of coasts, transportation of sediments, and risk and vulnerability analysis of littoral zones.
- Biological oceanography and marine ecology.
- Marine pollution.
- Social oceanography.
