National Institute of Marine Geology and Geo-ecology (GeoEcoMar), Romania
GeoEcoMar is a governmental research-development institution, co-ordinated by the Ministry of Education, Research and Youth. The scientific departments are: Marine Geology and Sedimentology, Seismo-acoustics and Physics of the Sea, Marine Gravity and Magnetic, Marine Geo-ecology and Biogeochemistry as well as GIS and Databases Group. The scientific activity of the GeoEcoMar is oriented towards the following main directions: Marine and fluvial geo-ecological studies regarding the macrogeosystem River Danube - Danube Delta - Coastal Zone - Black Sea and the environmental impact of the hydro technical works carried out along the Danube course and in the Danube Delta; Geological and geophysical survey of the Black Sea, mainly of the Romanian continental shelf, as well as of other marine areas. Bathymetric, geologic-sedimentologic, magnetic and gravity mapping of the shelf area is carried out at 1:200.000 and 1:50.000 scales; Studies of paleo-ecology, studies of the environmental and geological impacts of the climate and sea-level changes in the past and in the present; Land-sea interactions in the Coastal Zone and its integrated management; Studies, technical assistance and consulting for littoral and offshore marine engineering, industrial and environmental impact studies.
