We all need a little health check every now and again and our scientific equipment is no different. This year we are embarking on a new project CreamT (Coastal REsistance: Alerts and Monitoring Technologies) based on our fabulous WireWall wave overtopping measurement sensors. Under CreamT, WireWall will return near-real-time hazard data plus system health checks […]

Given our […]
Have a look at our CDE funded projects page – see https://digitalenvironment.org/home/digital-environment-projects. The project investigators have been making some short video presentations to explain more about their respective research projects. These are a great way to quickly gain an understanding of the enormous span of research the ‘Constructing a Digital Environment’ programme is now supporting. […]

Digital Champions Professors Ron Corstanje and Steve Hallett provided a summary update of progress to date with their activities with relation to the NERC ‘Constructing a Digital Environment’ programme. This was recorded and the video is presented below.
The work of the Constructing a Digital Environment programme draws on the involvement of a wide range of research scientists, students, policy makers and regulators as well as the public. Alongside this, a significant number of written works, reports and communications are also arising from this work. It is considered useful therefore to produce a […]
To improve the accessibility of data collected through NERC-funded research, or managed by NERC data centres, we are collecting feedback on the user experience (UX) to improve the navigation of our various web portals to assess these data. To gather feedback we are inviting you to take part in our Environmental Data Discovery Trails. We will […]
The Constructing a Digital Environment programme is running a series of online Webinars, these will be run every three weeks, and will aim to develop the digitally enabled environment to benefit scientists, policymakers, businesses, communities and individuals. The CDE webinars seek to showcase the latest expertise in digital technology and methodologies applied to the environment, […]
The exact origin of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has not yet been identified, however there are indications that it may be linked to pangolin.
