Our marine technology research contributes to two themes:

  • Energy and the Environment
    Which includes marine powering and control research, and renewable energy and environmental sustainability.
  • Industrial Competitiveness
    In the area of marine innovative design and manufacturing processes, and research in marine and offshore structures and materials.

Our marine science contributes to three research themes:

  • Marine Biogeochemistry
    Including focus on the role of the marine system in the global cycles of climatically active trace gases.
  • Marine Biotechnology
    Including research on marine biofouling and its control and industrial and medical biomedical applications of marine bacteria and fungi.
  • Marine Ecology
    Including research on the dynamics of fragile marine ecosystems and invertebrate reproduction.
