Turning Research Into Trusted Knowledge for Real Action and Solutions
The ocean is crucial to our planet’s health: shaping climate, sustaining diverse life, and powering economies worldwide. At NOC, we turn world-class science into practical solutions that make a difference.
Our research safeguards marine ecosystems, supports coastal communities, and promotes a sustainable ocean economy. From tracking ocean health to developing advanced tools and technology, we work to protect the ocean for generations to come.
Pushing the Boundaries of Technology Development
NOC's abundance of world-leading technology allows society to advance our knowledge of the ocean on a worldwide scale. Their growing capability has transformed our ability to monitor the oceans by enabling autonomous, adaptive and persistent observations from the surface to the deepest depths and furthest reaches of the oceans.
Indispensable Enabler of Marine Science Through Data
NOC is a global leader in ocean understanding and has committed to making sense of the seas through its digital expertise, sharing intelligence with others on how the ocean moves and changes. Through this information, we can understand our oceans and the vital life-supporting services they provide, and how that will be affected by climate change.
Ships and Expeditions
The ability to explore remote and challenging areas at sea, across a range of oceanographic disciplines, is becoming increasingly important for us to understand the complex nature of our oceans in order to predict future change. Our highly adaptable ships are able to support increasingly complex, multi-disciplinary, multi-investigator research, and are available for hire to institutions and businesses.
Explore Ocean Wonders: Discover the Ocean
By helping people understand the ocean, we open the door to a deeper connection with nature and our planet. Ocean literacy sparks curiosity, empowers people to make informed choices, and reveals just how much the ocean supports us all. By sharing this knowledge, we can protect it today and inspire future generations to do the same.
