Modelling for Aquatic Systems (ULG-MAST)
The Modelling for Aquatic Systems research group (MAST) develops models to understand the interactions between the ocean physics, biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem functioning. These models are used to forecast and project the ocean state and potential impacts of global environmental changes on marine system functioning.

Research of the group includes the following topics:
  • development of stochastic modelling approaches and data assimilation to improve marine environmental forecasting;
  • extending models to better represent the interactions with the other earth system's components (Earth System modelling approach);
  • understanding and predicting marine deoxygenation and its consequences on marine ecosystems and the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen and phosporus;
  • development of methodologies to connect the predictions of hydrodynamical-biogeochemical models with the assessment of the goods and services provided by marine ecosystems.
