University College London

UCL is one of the world's leading universities, founded in London to open up education to all on equal terms. UCL's outstanding research and innovative teaching drive entrepreneurial solutions to the world's major problems.

Staff involved in oceanography are from the Geography Department, the Department of Engineering, the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Statistics. In addition, the London Ocean Group comprises academic researchers from universities across London (and beyond) who study topics relating to the ocean. The group is currently coordinated by Dr Helen Czerski of UCL. The group welcome members from any area of ocean study who either live or work in London, and who would like to connect with others in these fields. Currently we have about 50 members from eight universities, and we are relatively new so we hope that this number will grow significantly over the next year. The aim of the group is to provide a forum for these researchers to get to know each other and to learn about the research being carried out here in London. We are planning to hold a meeting every 6-8 weeks, each with two short academic talks from either our members or visitors to London. The long-term aim is to move towards being a virtual oceanography institution for London, with a cross-disciplinary community that can share knowledge and build collaborations based on those new links.

The Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling is also hosted at UCL: http://www.cpom.ucl.ac.uk/
