Climate change
We gather and assess marine data on climate change and are
working with a wide range of partners - in scientific
institutes, industry and government - to assess the risks to the UK
and elsewhere, and viable future options.
Measuring
We combine the latest information with historic
data, state-of-the-art predictive modelling and analysis.
One of our key services is to provide data for model validation
and scientific assessment. Over the past few years we have expanded
the range of measured parameters and made it more readily available
for customers, by placing information online that can be accessed
by all.
Assessing
We are at the forefront of national and international efforts to
understand the likely impact of climate change on maritime
industries and freshwater environments.
Our specialist team examine the environmental and human
impacts, and potential changes to species, communities and ecosystems. They play a vital role in
translating scientific information for stakeholders and
policy-makers, helping them to plan for the challenges and
opportunities likely to be brought about by climate change in the
decades ahead.
Adapting
We are committed to developing a better understanding of what
can be done to mitigate against the worst risks and damages that
might occur as a result of rising sea levels, increasing
temperatures, changing weather patterns and many other factors. We
regularly advise our customers on these potential risks, and can
also help evaluate the costs of potential adaptation policies.

we can help you to address those.
