The objective of this work is to study various physical processes               occurring in coastal and inland waters by implementing an advanced              three-dimensional finite element scheme (model) to simulate                     quantitatively the hydrodynamics of the Lake Maracaibo system in                Western Venezuela.  Lake Maracaibo and its ocean access represent a             very complex system.  Despite the capability of the finite element              method for handling complex geometrics and spatial scales, very few             three-dimensional field studies have been attempted using this method,          and these have lacked sufficient field data for adequate comparisons.           Collaboration with a Venezuelan group offers an opportunity to verify           models by direct comparison to existing field data from the Lake                Maracaibo system.
