Organisation profile
The Scottish Association for Marine Science UHI (SAMS UHI) has been delivering independent marine science since 1884. Based in Oban, 150 staff are working for healthy and sustainably managed seas and oceans through world-class marine research, education and engagement with society.
We undertake research into all aspects of the marine system and exchange our new understanding with society, policy makers, business and the next generation, so that it can become useful and improve practices.
Science areas: SAMS science focuses on three major and urgent challenges which humankind and our natural world must face
- to discover the physical, chemical, geological and biological processes that drive the marine system so that we have the knowledge needed...
- to describe and quantify how our coastal environment, where more than half the human population resides, responds to ever-increasing man-made pressures such as climate change, habitat destruction, pollution and resource overexploitation and to work with society on developing and testing mitigation and adaptation measures and finally
- to develop a sustainable blue economy so that we can use the marine environment for the benefit of people without degrading its health and productivity.
To address these major challenges SAMS science is multi-disciplinary, drawing on the expertise from physicists, mathematicians, biologists, geologists, chemists, social scientists, computer scientists, technologists, engineers and communicators.
