Data, information and services
It is very expensive to collect data in the ocean, which is a constantly changing environment. Consequently we need to preserve these valuable data assets for the long term and make them easily available. Basic data, suitably interpreted, is the bedrock of all scientific knowledge about the oceans and underpins the ability to provide advice and information products and services to government, business, industry and the public. For this reason NOC hosts a variety of national facilities and information and data services.
British Oceanographic Data Centre
The British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) is a national facility for looking after and distributing data concerning the marine environment.
The Discovery Collections
The Discovery Collections comprises both benthic and pelagic samples from many parts of the World's oceans.
British Ocean Sediment Core Research Facility
BOSCORF is the UK national deep sea core repository, set up to store marine sediment cores collected by ships researchers.
NERC Data Catalogue Service
The data collected by NERC provide a unique and irreplaceable environmental record.
National Oceanographic Library
The library is a national resource for the UK marine science community and plays a full part in supporting our research strategy.
Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level
PSMSL is responsible for the collection, publication, analysis and interpretation of sea level data from the global network of tide gauges.
Products and services
A wide range of products and services will help you get the most from our science.
