The research group TEP-209 Dynamics of environmental flows. Marine section stands out for the international and interuniversity nature of its work, focusing on the dynamics of the atmosphere, oceans, rivers, reservoirs, and their respective morphologies:
- Ports and coasts. Coastal processes, evolution of the coast and maritime engineering.
- Wind engineering. Effect of the wind in the Civil engineering system, environment and wind generation.
- Rivers and reservoirs. Application of the Water Framework Directive and the study of river ecosystems and reservoirs.

The most relevant research and transfer activities of the group are: the implementation of a coastal video-monitoring system in the beaches of Carchuna (Granada), Trafalgar (Cádiz) and at the mouth of the San Pedro river (Cádiz); scientific and technological development tools and techniques, highlighting a wave generation channel, a multidirectional tank, a boundary layer wind tunnel and a tank for the study of brine dilution; a patent entitled "Slope Dam with Maximum Stability Geometry" (Patent No. 200403058 (2288336)).

The main lines of research are the following:
- Maritime works. Physical and numerical modeling of the wave interaction with maritime and coastal structures.
- Physical and numerical modeling of the interaction of the wind with artificial and natural infrastructures.
- Physical modeling of the atmosphere-ocean interaction.
- Characterization of river systems. Watershed management model. Hydrodynamic modeling in riverbeds.
- Sedimentary dynamics of Mediterranean rivers.
- Dynamics, transport and mixing in transitional waters.
- Dynamics, transport and mixing in littoral systems.
- Climate change in coastal areas.
- Renewable energies in atmosphere and ocean.
- Dynamics of environmental pollutants.
- Coastal physical oceanography.
- Comprehensive management of coastal and port areas.
