Structure

Although the Institute lies formally within the new College of Physical Sciences, its functions cross 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 GIS)
• Environmental Administrative Services
• 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/)
