Geological Oceanographers are required to tackle issues such as climate and sea-level change, coastal erosion, marine pollution, waterway siltation and offshore engineering related to cable/pipelines routes, renewable energy infrastructure and oil and gas exploration. Bangor University are one of the largest university centres teaching marine sciences in the United Kingdom and among the biggest in Europe.
