Description
By 2050 the global population is expected to reach 9 billion. This rapid population growth, taking place against a backdrop of global warming, is creating unprecedented challenges for food and energy security. The ocean will play an important role in the solutions to these challenges and research conducted by the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is contributing to this work of major societal importance. The NOC is also addressing the question of whether the frequency and intensity of marine hazards such as coastal flooding due to storm surges will increase as the climate warms. Research at NOC is called upon to inform public policy. The marine technologies we develop at NOC to support our science are frequently transferred to business and industry.
