Applying Cutting-Edge Observing Techniques
The ocean covers just over 70% of our planet, meaning there is a lot of ocean to observe. The need for interconnected networks comprising of different ocean observing techniques is a vital area of marine science, and one that also requires international collaboration.
Utilising emerging technologies can help researchers to collect as much information on ocean activity as possible to paint the best picture of our ocean's health. NOC plays a key role in a range of ocean observing networks and systems, and uses the data collected to support and deliver evidence-based outcomes.
NOC's Marine Technology Capabilities
Today, 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.
