UST21 – Connect the Present of the Ocean and the Future of the World Together

Technology Power

High-end technology can make safe ways on unpredictable ocean open, accurately figure out topography and geology, which human-being can’t enter, predict that ocean development industries will influence on marine ecosystems, and verify the complicated correlation between maritime climates and environment of the earth.

The oceans must be surveyed from the universe, seen through with geophysical technologies. By doing so, we must forge and analyze various, dynamic and enormous data, reveal mutual relationships and predict the changes from them.

UST21 has been investing time and money in developing technologies and advanced equipment, raising professional personnel to survey the ocean and analyze the data precisely and carry out the various surveys and development projects which conduct in the sea. Now, it has already held the global technology capability as high as to adopt as the international standards.
