Indispensable Enabler of Marine Science

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.

The information it collects from the ocean is used by other nations; the UK government; the Met Office, and the wider marine science communities. 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.

Our Research Areas

NOC's Digital Science and Data teams focus on delivering the best digital outcomes that are able to support NOC's wider goals to enable every living thing on the planet to flourish by increasing our knowledge of the ocean.
