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, fluid dynamics, 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.
