Research themes
Marine geoscience
The marine geoscience theme provides an integrated geological research
programme to meet the challenges of the marine environment across
the entire United Kingdom designated area. Current research focuses
on
- detailed seabed mapping
- reconnaissance surveys
- basin analysis on the Atlantic Margin
Understanding our marine environment is important so that we can maximise development of our marine resources, including oil and gas, renewable energy, marine aggregates, aquaculture and fishing, and also conserve our biodiversity and marine archaeological inheritance.
