Our facilities Learn more about our world-class facilities. Content on RIC child pages Coastal Research Laboratories The Coastal Research Laboratories are dedicated to the study of coastal, estuarine and shelf sea hydrodynamics and sediment transport, and interactions between flow, sediment, ecosystems and infrastructure. High Resolution Marine Geophysics We study the seabed and the near-seabed subsurface at better than 1m resolution using acoustic tools. Marine Electromagnetics We carry out marine controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) surveys - for both academic and applied research topics. Ocean Bottom Instrument Consortium (OBIC) We aim to provide the academic and commercial communities with access to multi-sensor, versatile seabed instruments to enable sub-surface geophysical imaging at high vertical and lateral resolution. Research vessel R.V.Callista based at NOCS, is available to staff and students of Ocean and Earth Science
