The Institute of Ocean and Earth Sciences (IOES) was established in the University of Malaya in 2003 as the University of Malaya Maritime Research Centre (UMMReC) to coordinate and lead all research activities, training and consultancies in marine and maritime research at the University of Malaya. In 2008, based on its achievements, UMMReC was upgraded to the present Institute of Ocean and Earth Sciences (IOES). In 2009, IOES was recognised as a Centre of Excellence (CoE) under the National Oceanography Directorate (NOD), Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI). In October 2014, the IOES was awarded the prestigious High Institution Centre of Excellence (HICoE) by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia, in recognition of its leadership in the niche area of “Air-Ocean-Land Interactions”. The IOES addresses MOHE’s priority area of Environment and Climate. In 2019, based on its excellent achievements especially under the HICoE Programme, the IOES was further recognized by Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia with the award of the High Institution Centre of Excellence (HICoE) Phase II status.

 

The main strengths of IOES lie in the diversity, depth and range of expertise available, particularly the rare expertise in maritime law and policy, political science and international relations, socio-economics, atmospheric sciences, mangrove ecology, marine biotechnology and marine genomics.
