Ocean Sciences
The sea affects everyone on this planet. This Thematical area addresses the ocean's immediate sustainability challenges through a high-quality, multidisciplinary scientific basis for transformative management and governance, which is critical for protection and restoration and for future use to occur sustainably in harmony with nature's constraints.
Marine research is often interdisciplinary in nature, and we need to strengthen the links between all the research that is carried out
Between 300 and 400 researchers at the University of Gothenburg work on something to do with the sea. Marine research is often multidisciplinary. Within the natural sciences, chemistry, physics, biology and geosciences can all contribute towards the same research project, but marine research is also conducted at all other faculties.
