I am looking to work on more analytical type of projects in maritime, beyond just charting and visualization. Are there good resources about such projects and topics in the maritime domain?
Hi Jacob,
It would help to know what domain you are most interested in, and what types of problems you would like to solve. For example, is it related to shipping logistics, NEPA permits, or marine ecology? As an example of what can be done using ArcGIS tools in Ocean Science, you may also find other interesting examples at the Ocean Science section.

However, in my experience working with maritime and coastguard data can have a good dosage of analytical topics including:
I would suggest having a look at the principal organisations that deal with this type of data including the US Coastguard, UK's Maritime and Coastguard Agency, plus other nations including Canada and Europe...they will put out press releases and other public information that might give you an idea.
