oceans, space research• Transferable technologies: remote sensing, low
power applications• Issues of global relevance: climate change, space
weather, biorenewable resources
..beyond the polar regions
• We seek to make our technologies and expertise visible and accessible to a wide spectrum of stakeholders, and find novel applications.
