Definition
- LEGOS is a multi-disciplinary research organisation , concerned with environmental research centred on physical oceanography (large scale and coastal), marine geochemistry and biogeochemistry, spatial hydrology and the dynamics of polar ice sheets. These research themes are linked by an observational approach using remote sensing from satellites. LEGOS is involved in all aspects of satellite missions, especially for altimetric satellites, from the planning and the preparation of algorithms to calibration, validation and exploitation of the results. LEGOS also maintains five observational services and networks. LEGOS contributes actively to student formation , and is involved in university teaching and supervision at all levels from degree to masters and PhD studies through the university faculties of physical science (UFR PCA) and life and earth sciences (UFR SVT). LEGOS is particularly closely involved in masters courses in atmosphere, ocean and environmental science within the doctoral school SDU2E (Sciences de l'Univers, Espace et Environement). (en)
