Research
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.
