Successful webinar series draws to a close

The NERC Environmental Data Service (EDS) has recently completed a successful webinar series, run in collaboration with the NERC Constructing a Digital Environment program.

An insight to the Antarctic: improving data access via the Polar Airborne Geophysics Data Portal

As the coldest, driest, windiest and fastest changing environment on Earth, Antarctica is a fascinating continent that still hides its secrets. For the last 60 years, scientists have explored and strived to better understand the past, present and future of the Antarctic Ice Sheet but also its geological structure.

Machine learning algorithm enables automatic characterisation of rock properties

International researchers use digital photographs of geological core from the NGDC to demonstrate the potential of a machine learning algorithm to automatically label core material and obtain geological insights, potentially creating a cost-effective alternative to in-person observations for some applications.

Supporting international climate change assessments

Staff from the NERC Environmental Data Service (EDS) have helped make climate data, used by international policymakers, more accessible.

New system uses near-instantaneous data to forecast hazardous overtopping of sea defences

A new in-situ coastal monitoring system has been created that sends near real-time data to NERC EDS's British Oceanographic Data Centre. This is then made publicly accessible online on the new 'Coastal Hazard Explorer' app, integrating data from other sources to forecast overtopping events.

Access to magnetic field data enables reuse and new discoveries

Magnetic data from Eskdalemuir Observatory and stored at the National Geoscience Data Centre helps Hungarian researchers evidence a link between lightning strikes and the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
