About NOC

NOC is one of the world’s top oceanographic institutions. We provide the UK’s National Capability needed to be a top global player, to lead and participate in international cooperation. We undertake world leading research in large scale oceanography and ocean measurement technology innovation; working with government and business to turn great science and technology into advice and applications.

Our action for climate change

Research carried out by NOC has highlighted how the increasing ice melt is impacting ocean circulation and how changing climate is affecting coastal communities. As well as advancing marine robotics, our scientists are lead authors on the IPCC report, which assessed the evidence of how human activities are altering the ways the oceans absorb and store CO2 from the atmosphere.
