The Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) runs the UK's national data centre for atmospheric and earth observation research, hosting Petabytes of climate model, atmospheric observations and satellite data. 

The CEDA Archive forms part of NERC's Environmental Data Service (EDS) - a network of data centres covering all aspects of environmental science. The EDS provides a focal point for NERC's scientific data and information. We work with the other data centres to ensure that...

We provide a comprehensive Advanced Research Computing (ARC) support service for researchers in all faculties at the University of Leeds. The service consists of a large High Performance Computing (HPC or Supercomputing) resource consisting of several clusters which are used for all forms of predictive modelling, data analysis and simulation which are too large, too complex or too time consuming to be performed on a Desktop PC. In addition, we can support researchers in the use of Cloud...

The Archives Hub brings together descriptions of thousands of the UK’s archive collections. Representing over 350 institutions across the country, it is an effective way to discover unique and often little-known sources to support research. New descriptions are added every week, often representing collections being made available for the first time. Researchers can use the Hub to instantly scan the archival landscape and bring together diverse sources held in repositories across the country. The...

The set of AAAI (Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting Infrastructure) services operated by Jisc provides a national framework for the management of access to RII resources across the UK. This framework includes authentication of an individual user of a RII; authorisation of that user to access RII resources; and, where appropriate, accounting for that use for charging or for auditing purposes (for instance where there are compliance implications such as those around access to sensitive...

The Bodleian Libraries mission is to provide an excellent service to support the learning, teaching and research objectives of the University of Oxford; and to develop and maintain access to Oxford's unique collections for the benefit of scholarship and society. The Bodleian has been collecting material for more than 400 years and currently holds more than 12 million printed items, over 80,000 e-journals, and some 56,000 linear metres of outstanding special collections. These include rare books...

National infrastructure systems (energy, transport, digital communications, water etc.) are undergoing a rapid change which is based upon the availability of digital data, communications, and computer power. There are opportunities to improve the efficiency, reliability and sustainability of infrastructure through better sharing and use of data, exploitation of simulation and optimization techniques, and engagement with stakeholders through visualisation. The Data Analytics Facility for National...

The Consumer Data Research Centre (CDRC) is an ESRC Big Data initiative led by the University of Leeds and University College London with partners at the Universities of Liverpool and Oxford. Established in 2014, CDRC provides a unique platform for conducting research and innovation by delivering a national data service that facilitates stakeholder access to commercial datasets. CDRC’s key objectives are to procure consumer data for social science research and the benefit of society and also...

The Consumer Data Research Centre (CDRC) is an ESRC Big Data initiative led by University College London with the University of Liverpool and Oxford and in partnership with the University of Leeds. Established in 2014, the CDRC provides a platform for accessing consumer data through a three-tier data service. CDRC’s key objectives are to procure and make available consumer-related data for social science research for the benefit of society and to serve as a centre of expertise in data analytics...

Data science - Intelligent and effective use of data

From mapping the spread of disease to monitoring climate change, data holds the key to solving some of the world's biggest challenges. It also promises to deliver improved productivity, helping companies streamline their processes, make improvements and maximise their output. Dependable decisions rely on understanding the provenance and reliability of data.

Our data scientists are working to help organisations analyse and use data...

Jisc’s equipment.data is the national equipment portal, which lists over 17,000 items of equipment from 57 institutions, including universities and research institutes (http://equipment.data.ac.uk/status). Having begun as a project at the University of Southampton, Jisc has transitioned equipment.data to a national service. Jisc is now undertaking development of the equipment sharing infrastructure for the UK research sector. The aim is for Jisc, institutional stakeholders and researchers to...
