    • Australia's Integrated Marine Observing System IMOS

    The Integrated Marine Observing System, or IMOS, is a $55 Milion nation-wide collaborative program designed to observe the oceans around Australia, including the coastal oceans and the bluewater open oceans. IMOS will provide data to support research on many of the critical marine issues facing Australia, including climate change and sustainability of ecosystems. Twenty-seven separate institutions will be involved in the new facility, which is funded under the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy. IMOS partners comprise most of the universities and agencies with capability in ocean and marine research. The program has strong links with similar international programs and agencies
