TRONDHEIM MARINE SYSTEMS LARGE SCALE FACILITY
With this message, I wish to inform you about the opportunities the
Trondheim Marine Systems Large Scale Facility has to offer within the field of marine science and technology. Through the EU Training and Mobility of Researchers (TMR) programme, our facilities have been selected as a 'Centre of excellence' within the measuring, monitoring and modelling of marine systems.
This means that you have the possibility to freely use state of the art
facilities to carry out experiments during a period of 3 weeks to 3 months, while your travel, housing and subsistence costs are covered by the LSF grant.
The LSF offers access to large experimental tanks (e.g. an ocean basin, towing tanks, a cavitation laboratory, a wave mechanics tank, a Coriolis tank and a pressure tank), telemetering data buoys, wave tanks (SEAWATCH), biological tanks and basins, rooms for cultivation of plankton-size marine organisms, and supercomputing and modelling facilities. It also includes two natural environments that have been thoroughly studied for many years: a small and shallow landlocked bay and the large and deep Trondheimsfjord. They are situated well north from the North Sea basin and are characterised by pure coastal waters. Both locations are easy reachable from shore research stations and are served by research vessels.
Please do not hesitate to contact the project coordinator if you would
consider visiting our research centre. Updated information about planned experiments, the available facilities, the content of the LSF grant as well as the application form can be found at our Web site, at the following URL:

If you are interested in conducting experiments during the spring or summer of 1999, the application form should be submitted before December 1st 1998.
Afterwards, there will be at least two announced calls for proposals per year.
