research expeditions

• The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) have announced funding for three ambitious new projects to generate new data on how ocean biology impacts the storage of carbon.
• The PARTITRICS project will be led by the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), with the further two projects also involving NOC scientists.

• Scientists from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) have deployed ocean robots and moorings to collect key data in the Gulf Stream
• Processes within the Gulf Stream are thought to play a key role in the uptake of CO₂ from the atmosphere

• SMARTEX is one of several NOC projects endorsed as a UN Ocean Decade Action, part of our commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

A new bursary made available by West of England P&I club (West P&I) and managed by the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) has had a highly successful first year, despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rui Vieira an Ocean and Earth Science PhD student from University of Southampton specialising in deep-sea ecology, biological oceanography and fisheries is attending Parliament to present his research to a range of politicians and a panel of expert judges, as part of SET for Britain on Monday 7 March.

A decade of research on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which is important for understanding the climate, reveals some surprising findings about its behaviour.

Scientists at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) have used advanced photographic tools in an unmanned Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) to make major advancements in estimating deep-sea ecosystem diversity at ‘landscape’ scales.

Update – 17 July 2014

Scientists from the National Oceanography Centre are preparing to set sail to sub-polar regions on a very technical and scientific challenge – to measure the currents of the northern North Atlantic Ocean from the surface to the seafloor.
