Structure

Although the Institute lies formally within the College of Physical Sciences, it functions across College, School and departmental boundaries. The Institute is guided by an International Advisory Board with a balance of Marine Science, Fisheries, Governance, Natural Heritage, Industry and Commerce, and Oil and Gas related experience and expertise at Senior Executive level.

The internal divisions consist of

• Research (especially Applied Research)
• Consultancy
• Information Systems (especially Remote Sensing and GIS)
• Monitoring and Modelling
• Environmental Administrative Services
• Education and Training

The Institute can call on the considerable Information, Library, Technical, Laboratory, Administrative and Managerial facilities of the University - and has the support of all relevant departments and disciplines. It has especially close links with OceanLab (http://www.oceanlab.abdn.ac.uk/)
