We invest in the research, people, skills, infrastructure and data needed to ensure the UK remains at the forefront of environmental science and innovation on the global stage. NERC's science spans the entire earth system from the atmosphere to the biosphere, hydrosphere, sub-surface, oceanic and the polar regions. We fund curiosity-driven research and strategic R&I across universities and national research organisations often in partnership with government departments and national and international stakeholders. Our sustained funding of six NERC research centres provides the 'national capability' foundations for the UK environmental science endeavour making long-term and large-scale observing and modelling possible through investment in major research infrastructures (including research stations in polar regions, a fleet of Royal Research Ships and aircraft, and satellite technologies and monitoring stations), which provide the UK with world class expertise and data in critical science areas. We ensure our data assets from our investments are widely accessible in the form of the NERC Environmental Data Service (EDS) which holds over 25 terabytes of data across more than 16,000 distinct datasets. We have ambition to considerably enhance this and develop new applications and markets including through Environmental Data Research UK.
