Integrated Understanding of the Marine System
Research of the current health of the ocean is fundamental in developing an integrated understanding of the marine system, and its relation to all components of the wider Earth system and to society. Using modelling techniques can help to apply the research carried out by scientists but also map out what the potential future looks like.
NOC is a world-leader in numerical modelling of the global oceans, shelf seas and ocean biogeochemistry. Our marine science teams aim to both develop innovative, state-of-the-art models and to use these tools to better understand and predict how oceans work, and so address fundamental societal challenges.
NOC's Digital Science and Data Mission
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. 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.
