About the Department

The Operational Oceanography Department (OOD) is engaged in broadly defined research and development activities in operational oceanography at sea and in the coastal zone. The OOD also carries out tasks commissioned by the maritime administration of the Republic of Poland and business entities operating at sea. The comprehensive marine environmental surveys conducted by this Department include geophysical and hydrophysical surveys. Apart from that, the OOD offers a wide range of services, including the preparation of reports, compilations, studies, analyses and expert opinions, as well as biological, chemical and geological sampling. It also provides consultancy and advisory services for offshore surveys, supporting its clients in the decision-making process and helping them to undertake the right operations at sea. The findings from research conducted at the OOD are regularly published in renowned scientific journals, contributing to the global development of knowledge in oceanography and enhancing our understanding of dynamic processes occurring in the marine environment.
