WAMSI Research Node 6

Ocean Science for Offshore and Coastal Engineering

The waters off the North West coast of Western Australia are of national strategic significance as well as being home to the offshore oil and gas industry, one of the most significant components of the Western Australian economy.

Node 6 will focus on improved understanding of the physical geography aimed at better safety, reliability and economy in the design and operation of offshore oil and gas platforms and pipelines.
