Technologies for Ocean Sensing
Spanning more than 70% of our planet, the oceans are vital for regulating Earth's climate, supporting extraordinary biodiversity, and sustaining human well-being. Thanks to the European Union's Horizon 2020 program, the TechOceanS project has revolutionized ocean sensing technologies, creating cutting-edge tools that empower the monitoring and protection of marine ecosystems. We invite you to celebrate this journey of innovation and discovery by exploring our Key Achievements Booklet, which highlights the remarkable achievements and lasting legacy of TechOceanS.
"TechOceanS began with an ambitious vision to advance ocean measurement technology...developing a suite of advanced sensor systems, samplers, and data tools that are already making a significant impact in marine science. Through collective effort, creativity, and dedication, we have successfully realised this vision, laying the foundation for future innovations in marine exploration."
Professor Matthew Mowlem, TechOceanS Project Coordinator
New technologies for ocean sensing and environmental monitoring.
The new technologies developed in the project have expanded our ability to capture vital, previously inaccessible data on the ocean’s biogeochemistry, biology and ecosystems.
Technologies
TechOceanS has developed a raft of new technologies in multiple underwater vehicles, enabling a step change in ocean biology, chemistry and plastic observation.
The TechOceanS consortium rose to meet and exceeded the project’s ambitious goals.
The multidisciplinary team of research organisations, higher education institutes and small and medium sized enterprises are recognised leaders in their respective fields. The participating members are continuing to develop many of these technologies together in follow-on work.
