‘Co-Opt’ Project funded to Develop Tools to Protect Coastal Communities
The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) in partnership with The University of Liverpool, Cranfield University and St Andrews University was awarded funding by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) as one of six new research projects that aim to build a sustainable future for the marine environment.Led by Dr. Laurent Amoudry from NOC, the ‘Co-Opt’ project will develop new tools that will allow better decisions to be made to both protect coasts from changing climate and help deliver net zero ambitions.Protecting the coast by maintaining hard 'grey' defenses against flooding and erosion
Methane: The Arctic's Buried Treasure
there will be an increase in biological productivity and thus, ocean life. Once methane reaches the air, we use airplanes in cooperation with National Centre for Atmospheric Science, Department of Chemistry; the University of Cambridge and the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM); Cranfield University; and Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU). Together we investigate the gas compositions and the concentration of methane above those gas hydrate fields – this is a typical cross-disciplinary research scenario for us.” CAGE uses and develops long-term multi-sensor
