Cincias do Mar III Enhancing Brazil's Capability in Marine Science - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Ciências do Mar III Enhancing Brazil's Capability in Marine Science Research VII November Conference Arthur Ayres Neto Universidade Federal Fluminense – UFF

LAGEMAR UFF - Marine Geology Laboratory: The marine Geology Laboratory at UFF has been active in the ocean research for the last 50 years. It has participated on several important projects regarding the recognition of the Brazilian continental margin Several cooperation agreements with oil and service companies, as well as governmental agencies to develop research projects with environmental application.
