National Oceanography Centre

Overview

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is a leading UK nonprofit organization focusing on marine science research and technological development. It operates as a charitable company limited by guarantee, with charity number 1185265. The centre is the UK's largest institution for integrated sea level science, coastal, and deep ocean research.

History and Formation

The National Oceanography Centre was formed on 1 April 2010. It is headquartered in Southampton, with a second site in Liverpool. This formation was part of a broader strategy to enhance collaboration among institutions in the UK marine science community.

Research Areas

NOC's research is organized into four main areas:

  • Ocean BioGeosciences: Focusing on the biological and geochemical processes within the ocean.
  • Marine Systems Modelling: Developing models to understand and predict ocean behavior.
  • Marine Physics and Ocean Climate: Examining the physical properties and climate impact of the ocean.
  • Ocean Technology and Engineering: Developing innovative technologies for ocean research.

Resources and Facilities

NOC operates several key resources:

  • Royal Research Ships: The RRS James Cook and RRS Discovery are used for extensive oceanic research.
  • Autosub Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs): For deep-sea exploration and data collection.
  • British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC): A central facility for managing and distributing marine data.
  • National Marine Equipment Pool (NMEP): Provides access to specialized marine equipment.
  • National Tide and Sea Level Facility (NTSLF): Contributes to sea level monitoring and flood warning systems.
  • Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL): Maintains a global mean sea level data archive.
  • British Ocean Sediment Core Research Facility (BOSCORF): For studying subsea sediment cores.

Influence and Partnerships

The NOC plays a significant role in shaping scientific, environmental, and maritime policies both in the UK and Europe. It collaborates with various stakeholders, including private enterprises, governments, non-governmental bodies, and the public. The centre's work supports public policy, business, and societal outcomes through its multidisciplinary research approaches.
