New National Centre for Oceanography
The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory (POL), based at the University of Liverpool, will form part of a new national research organisation that will work in partnership with the UK marine research community to deliver integrated marine science and technology from the coast to the deep ocean.

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) will be formed on 1st April by bringing together POL in Liverpool and NERC-managed activity at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (NOCS) into a single institution. The NOC will work in close partnership with the wider marine science community to create the integrated research capability needed to tackle the big environmental issues facing the world.  Research priorities will include the oceans’ role in climate change, sea level change and the future of the Arctic Ocean.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Jon Saunders, said: “The University works closely with the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory in areas such as climate change research, sea level science and marine renewable energy. The development of the new National Oceanography Centre offers opportunities for even greater collaboration and will consolidate Liverpool’s reputation as a world-leading centre for the study of marine science.”
