Scientists researching ways to tackle climate change and other environmental challenges facing the UK will benefit from a major upgrade of research equipment.
The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) has invested £6.6 million in improving the UK’s national research infrastructure by funding the purchase of 10 state-of-the-art pieces of equipment.
This new infrastructure will, for example:
- enable scientists to better monitor volcanos
- respond to floods and droughts
- advance their understanding of the effects of climate change on the atmosphere
- trace minerals in the earth.
