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.

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

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.

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).
