The purpose of the UK-SCAPE hydrological sensor data integration tool is to enable visualisation of various hydrological datasets on a map with timeseries graphs. Water quality sites that meet specific criteria (sufficient number of values of selected determinands)…

The purpose of the Drought Data Hub is to provide a simple, visual summary of the data outputs from the About Drought projects. The data can be viewed as gridded or point data on a map of the UK.

The purpose of the Drought Declaration Explorer is to visualise reconstructed drought declarations in the Maharashtra State, as set out by the Manual for Drought Management (2016) and Amendment in the Manual for Drought Management (2018).

The purpose of the ASSET tool is to explore the impacts of potential changes in the way we use the UK countryside. It can be used to compare the ways in which future changes in the types of land we have (e.g. farmland, grassland, forest) and the way we use them (e.g.…

The purpose of the Soil wetness app is to show the “wetness” of the ground across Britain as estimated by a hydrological model.

The purpose of the UKCEH GroDome Facility is to enable controlled experimental studies of a wide range of organisms and pathogens. The space available in the GroDome allows larger experiments than could be contained in controlled environment rooms, and the GroDome…

The purpose of ECN is to detect and determine the causes and consequences of environmental change. To achieve this, ECN provides a network of field sites in semi-natural and agricultural locations around the UK, each site instrumented to enable physical, chemical and…

The purpose of the Microplastics Analysis Facility is to detect the presence of plastics in the environment so that researchers can understand their fate, bioavailability and interactions with wildlife. This research helps governments, consumers and industry to tackle…

The purpose of the PREAR Future Rotations Explorer is to explore the predicted yield of major arable crops across Europe in a future subject to long term climate change. It allows farmers and decision-makers to consider crop rotations and future climate change. It…

The purpose of the Upland Waters Monitoring Network (UWMN) is to monitor water quality and biodiversity in upland water bodies threatened by air pollution, climate change and land use change. Upland waters provide much of the UK's drinking water and act as a refuge…

The purposes of the UKCEH Engineering Workshops Service are: (1) To design and prototype new scientific equipment not commercially available; (2) Small batch production of specialist scientific equipment for (a) UKCEH researchers and (b) commercial sales of equipment…

The purpose of the NRFA trend explorer is to provide a way of exploring and evaluating trends in peak flow and daily flow data within the measuring stations with records in the National River Flow Archive.

The purpose of the BT Tower London Observatory is to measure greenhouse gases and atmospheric pollutants and their fluxes (how they change over time) in an urban environment. This long-term, high-precision monitoring provides valuable atmospheric chemistry data: to…

The purpose of the Woodland Survey is to understand the causes and consequences of change in woodlands across Great Britain since 1971, focusing mainly on ancient broad-leaved woods and Caledonian pine-woods. Such ancient woodlands contribute to essential ecosystem…

The purpose of the Ammonia Capture using Trees is to provide guidance for farmers, planners and tree planters, to maximize the benefits of planting tree shelterbelts for ammonia recapture

The purpose of the Aber experimental exposure facility is to determine the impact of ozone on vegetation such as crops, grassland, heath and small trees. Ground-level ozone is not only an air pollutant, it is also a greenhouse gas, contributing to global warming. …

The purpose of these two boats (an ARCboat and an ARCboatlite) is to enable safe, remotely controlled measurements of river flow, bathymetry and water quality.

The purpose of the ID-TaxER is to provide a data explorer for potential soil habitat preferences of bacterial taxa derived from 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Users need to enter a 16s rRNA gene sequence

PROSUM predicts the effects of water and nutrient (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) availabilities, and of land management, on vegetation growth, biomass and litter production. It is used by researchers to explore effects of environmental change on plant growth, crop…

The purpose of the Glencorse Platform is to enable woodland research. It has been used to study: different tree phenotypes (birch, alder, oak, poplar); the impacts of acid rain on trees (birch, sitka); and biofuel production (willow, aspen and Japanese knotweed). …
