Abstract:
The GeoHydrodynamics and Environmental research group (GHER) was formerly known as 'unité d'Océanographie Physique'. The group focuses on marine and environmental studies and modelling.

In the 1970s, in the framework of 'Project Sea', the GHER participated in the study of many different marine sites, such as the North Sea, the Black Sea, the Aral Sea, the South China Sea, the Bering Sea, the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea. Current research activities focus on the merging of statistical data analyses and modelling into assimilated approaches, such as nested coastal models. Model verification using wavelets and other advanced statistical tools is another research focus, as well as cloud filling based on empirical orthogonal functions.

The research group participated in many European projects, such as EROS2000 and EUROMODEL, resulting in the Mediterranean 3D primitive equation hydrodynamic models, and MERMAIDS, MODB, MEDAR and SeaDataNet (in which the oceanographic database and data analysis tools were elaborated). Furthermore, the GHER team is also responsible for the organisation of the annual International Liège Colloquium on Ocean Dynamics.
