How do we undertake science at sea? Read about the technology we use to carry out the science.
Science and Technology - addressing the Oceans' big issues
Earth - Ocean system
The interactions between the oceans, atmosphere, land and ice.
Marine resources
Our oceans supply food, energy, minerals and metals.
Climate and sea level
How the oceans both moderate and drive climate variability.
Seas under threat
Human and climate impacts on the oceans drives changes in marine ecosystems.
Life in the oceans
The diversity of marine life in the oceans and on the sea floor.
Marine hazards
Waves and storms are an ever present risk for coastal communities and those working at sea.
Projects and collaborations
Collaboration with world leading groups, including significant partnering with the universities of Southampton and Liverpool, is the core of our marine research and technology endeavour.
EU projects
On the European stage NOC plays an active role in EU and European Space Agency (ESA) projects.
International projects
The NOC seeks to collaborate with leading marine science and technology research groups throughout the world.
Research Groups
Although a great deal of marine research carried out at NOC is interdisciplinary, its success relies upon bringing together marine scientists with strong disciplinary skills.
The five research groups at NOC are centered around disciplines and ensure that we have the depth of knowledge and capability in each of these areas. Select the links below to find out more about our science and technology research groups.
