The Center for Lagoon Hydrodynamics and Morphodynamics promotes and develops research activities and scientific/technical studies concerning hydrodynamic, morphodynamic, and ecological processes taking place in transitional coastal environments, such as lagoons and estuaries.
A characteristic focus of the Center is the quantitative mathematical modelling of the processes, based on field and remote sensing observations, with the aim of better understanding the time evolution of costal transitional systems under climatic changes and anthropogenic influences.
The Center in particular promotes research programs and technical studies with a focus on the lagoon of Venice, in support of decision making.
