Research and Technology 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 centred 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.
Marine Geoscience
Our Marine Geoscientists undertake multi-disciplinary studies of seafloor and sub-seafloor environments across the globe
Marine Physics and Ocean Climate
The Marine Physics and Ocean Climate (MPOC) research group studies fundamental physical processes in the marine environment
Ocean Biogeochemistry and Ecosystems
Studying ocean physics, chemistry and biology to understand the controls on biogeochemistry and biodiversity in the oceans
Ocean Technology and Engineering
What instruments do we use to explore the ocean? Read about the equipment we design, build and use at sea.
Marine Systems Modelling
The Marine Systems Modelling (MSM) group are world-leaders in numerical modelling of the global oceans and shelf seas.
Collaborative Groups
Our scientists collaborate with colleagues in universities, industry groups and other research institutions worldwide
