Cabled Observatories for Monitoring of the Ocean System (COSMOS)


NOON has submitted a proposal on research infrastructure to the Research Council of Norway.

The vision of the COSMOS project is to establish a next-generation infrastructure for a permanent and interactive presence in the ocean, enabling sustainable monitoring and management of the marine environment. This includes understanding ecosystems, marine resources, bio-geological processes, and challenges from global climate and environmental change. The observatory will contribute to operational forecasting of natural environmental disasters, climate change and its effects.
