Ocean Technology and Engineering (OTE)

Oceanography is a science that is highly dependent on observations and measurements to give us a better understanding of our seas in a changing climate.

• Coastal overtopping can cause flooding and pose a hazard to people, property and infrastructure.

NOC’s Ocean Technology and Engineering (OTE) team are at the forefront of innovation in designing, creating and using novel sensors and instruments to collect these vital data, and continue to push boundaries.

Scientists from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) have successfully tested a new approach to help improve knowledge of the deepest parts of the ocean.

Scientists from the National Oceanography Centre, the UK’s leading ocean research centre, are joining a collaborative effort to assess the impact of offshore wind farms on marine ecosystems.

A brand new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the use of oxygen sensors in autonomous vehicles has been released, bringing together expert knowledge from across the glider community, to make valuable oxygen sensor data more accessible to scientists.

Engineers and scientists from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and the University of Southampton are set to trial new, state-of-the-art ocean biogeochemical sensors integrated with autonomous vehicles.

This winter, as part of the JERICO-RI European Infrastructure JERICO-S3 project, the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) will access the SmartBay Observatory.

This month marks the start of a new international collaboration to better understand the ultra deep-sea through innovative adaptation of sensors to withstand the crushing pressures at depths of down to 11,000 metres.

A new project being led by the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) o develop a system to improve the efficiency of offshore renewable energy generation and help develop the Blue Economy has been awarded funding from Innovate UK’s Sustainable Innovation Fund.
