Welcome to the GINCCO IRN website
The aquatic realm at the interface between the continent and the ocean, encompassing estuaries, deltas, lagoons and the coastal ocean, is a key region for the Earth cycles of water, matter and biogeochemistry. There, the transports and flows are characterized by large changes, due to the variability of the forcing but also due to the interactions between the different processes. Human activities add a further footprint to these variabilities in a cycle of actions and feedbacks that is still poorly understood both at local and global scales.
The impact of all these processes and of their interactions on the coastal environments, on water quality and health of the socio-ecosystems represents such a challenge for biodiversity and human societies that the scientific community urgently needs to mobilize different types of expertise in a transdisciplinary approach, using tools adapted to the complexity of the issues at stake.
The International Research Network (IRN) GINCCO (Group of INvestigation of the Continuum Continent Ocean) aims to create a network of expertise on the hydrodynamics and biogeochemical processes based on numerical modeling and on a transdisciplinary approach.
GINCCO is funded by IRD (Institut de Recherche et du Développement, France) for the period 2025-2028. The network relies on partnerships between laboratories, institutes, and universities in France, Vietnam, Thailand, Benin and Cameroon.
