Ocean margins (where the deep oceans meet continental shelves) include the sites of some of the world's largest accumulations of sediments which may provide the source of significant reserves of oil and gas.

The multidisciplinary Ocean Margins (LINK) programme aimed to develop a clear knowledge of the structure, composition and evolution of ocean margins and provided clearer scientific understanding, that will be critical to the wealth and well being of many coastal nations, including the UK. More about the Ocean Margins programme
