We make sense of the changing seas, on which future human prosperity and wellbeing depend

Science and Research

Our planet is constantly changing and climate change poses a big threat to society.

With years of experience, innovative technology and some of the world’s leading scientists, we take on the challenge of understanding the complexity of our oceans, the Earth system and biosphere.

Technology

The NOC is a pioneer of ocean technology – pushing the boundaries of endurance and capability with every deployment. Through decades of hard-won experience at the forefront of ocean measurement, the lessons we’ve learned carry forward to each generation of ocean-going platforms and sensors.

Public Benefit

The NOC provides public benefit, as part of a global endeavour, by contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge of the ocean. This is both a public good in its own right, which can lead to applications that result directly or indirectly in public benefit.
