Integrated Marine Policies are being implemented at international, national, and regional levels to design coordinated actions in order to ensure coastal and marine security, sustainability, and management. At the ICM we develop observation and prediction capabilities for time series data of marine dynamics, extreme weather, and disaster monitoring. We aim to provide stakeholders with the knowledge and the tools to mitigate environmental impacts and for disaster management. We contribute to the design of innovative space-borne and ground-based observing systems, as well as to improve the observation of ocean hazards.
