SOLAS Belgium


SOLAS-related activities in Belgium:

10 research units (Universities & Institutes) are involved in 6 research projects:

These cover SOLAS Activities: 1.3, 1.4, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2 and include:

* Laboratory-controlled experiments, mesocosms
* Field sampling & pCO2 measurement
* Geographical domain: coastal, ocean margins, polar seas & global ocean ( only modeling)
* Covered SOLAS Common Issue: numerical modeling:
o coupled (ice)-ocean models of C, N, P, Si, (Fe) cycles at regional scale (Antarctic & Southern North Sea)
o a global atmosphere-land-ocean-sea ice model
