Turning Research Into Trusted Knowledge for Real Action and Solutions
The ocean is crucial to our planet’s health: shaping climate, sustaining diverse life, and powering economies worldwide. At NOC, we turn world-class science into practical solutions that make a difference.
Our research safeguards marine ecosystems, supports coastal communities, and promotes a sustainable ocean economy. From tracking ocean health to developing advanced tools and technology, we work to protect the ocean for generations to come.
Through innovation and global partnerships, we enable society to adapt and thrive amid change. Whether combating climate change or boosting the blue economy, our work builds a resilient, sustainable future, starting with the ocean.
Our Key Missions
Our efforts centre on four core missions that deliver meaningful impact for the ocean. By leading pioneering research and innovation, we deepen understanding of ocean change, protect marine life, tackle environmental threats, and promote sustainable use of ocean resources.
Arctic Research and Innovation
The Arctic plays a fundamental role in the Earth’s climate system and its unique sea ice environment and ecosystems provide resources and a way of life to Indigenous and local Arctic communities. The Arctic, however, is rapidly changing, threatening our global climate, weather and biodiversity.
