Our team's equipment :
  • in situ observations for multidisciplinary programs, and instruments adapted to the scales of interest (Shet, Towyo, Profileur Vidéo Marin (ocean video profiler), ADCP, Bioness)
  • various techniques for theoretical, numerical or statistical simulations/modeling for the interpretation of measured variables
  • laboratory resources for the study of certain species or processes under controlled conditions
 
Available materials or techniques :
  • SHET (Système Hydro-Electrique Tracté)
