The Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) Archive

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...

Quantum Computing and Simulation Hub

The Quantum Computing and Simulation Hub (aka QCS Hub) is a collaboration between 17 UK universities and is one of four hubs within the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme.

Working with an extensive network of academic, industrial and governmental partners, we are focused on the critical research challenges for quantum computing, across a broad range of hardware and software disciplines.

As well as addressing the technical challenges in providing quantum computing and simulation at...

Advanced Research Computing Service

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...

Archives Hub

The Archives Hub brings together descriptions of thousands of the UK’s archive collections. Representing over 370 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...

Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting Infrastructure and Services

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...

Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford

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...

UK Collaboratorium for Research on Infrastructure and Cities (UKCRIC) - Data Analytics Facility for National Infrastructure

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...
