Providing Insights and Answers
With a wide range of experience and expertise in areas of marine and geological science, we can provide the answers you are looking for before the news hits screens around the world. We can do this by providing resources to journalists including articles, fact sheets, and access to an extensive multimedia library.
If you are a journalist or publisher with an interest in marine, climate or geological sciences, we have scientists covering a diverse range of fields that may be able to help and advise you. Get in touch by emailing media@noc.ac.uk or visiting our contact page.
Media Opportunities at NOC
We welcome media visitors to both NOC sites, in Southampton and Liverpool, to film and interview our researchers. Access to the workshops and research facilities at both sites is possible by pre-arrangement. Occasionally our Research Ships are docked in Southampton, usually while mobilising for the next research expedition, and it is sometimes possible to allow media access during this time. All opportunities to do so will be posted here. We open the doors of the Southampton site once a year to the public in June.
There are sometimes opportunities for media to join scientific expeditions on-board the RRS Discovery and RRS James Cook. Media wishing to join a research expedition on a ship should read the NERC marine facilities policy and guidance, and should get in touch with us via media@noc.ac.uk.
Policy and GuidanceNot all fieldwork takes place on board our research ships, we frequently participate in shore-based activities as well as shore-based deployments of autonomous vehicles. All opportunities to do so will be posted on our website.
We welcome expressions of interest and enquiries from producers and journalists and may be able to assist with the production of articles and programmes.
