National Oceanography Centre (NOC) at Southampton

In keeping with the vision of a coordinated strategic research programme for the NERC marine Centres (articulated in Oceans 2025), BODC and NOC have established a data management group in Southampton. A guiding principle is to make best use of established facilities and practices.

The NOC Scientific Data Group will be primarily responsible for NERC core-funded data and will work with BODC, utilising its existing software suite and database systems. Other NOC data will follow current channels to specific project data managers at BODC, or be handled by the NOC Laboratory Liaison Officer for Southampton.
