InfraPortal
Provides confocal and Electron microscopy resources to the Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre.
In Vitro imaging of embryos and cells that do not tolerate transport to external core facilities.
On site imaging allows researchers to multitask during longer duration sessions.
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...
ACTRIS is a pan-European initiative to produce long-term, high-quality observations of aerosols, clouds and trace gases across a network of European sites. Societal and environmental challenges, such as air quality, health, sustainability and climate change, increasingly require a diverse range of measurements to underpin policy initiatives. ACTRIS will help to solve such challenges by providing a platform for researchers to combine their efforts more effectively, and by providing observational...
The Airborne Geosciences Facility was established to support environmental & geoscientific research and teaching through the development, integration and operation of advanced airborne sensing technologies deployed on both manned and unmanned aircraft. We operate our own ECO-Dimona light aircraft alongside a fleet of small unmanned aircraft systems, and a suite of remote sensing and atmospheric instruments. Our stated goal is to provide the core capability to promote and develop an...
Aircraft Research Association Ltd (ARA) is an independent UK specialist in high technology solutions in fluid dynamics and wind tunnel testing working with leading international aircraft and defence manufacturers. It has developed a world leading Transonic Wind Tunnel facility using the most advanced experimental and computational methods for deriving and analysing aerodynamic performance. Capabilities comprise:
Anvil provides a platform to enable researchers to test their software automatically. Regular Testing, Robust Software. Further developments will enable testing on HPC infrastructures. Providing testing for research software enables better research as the quality of the software will be improved. Providing the links to testing on HPC and commercial clouds is a unique offering and is unlikely to be provided by others as it is niche.
Apocrita is a 5000+ core heterogeneous high performance computing cluster owned by Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). The cluster is managed by the Research IT team of IT Services. It was established in 2012 by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) as one of the 5 regional Tier-2 Computing Centres of Excellence, through the MidPlus consortium (the universities of Birmingham, Nottingham, Warwick and QMUL) The cluster has been repeatedly expanded through smaller...
The Archaeology Data Service (ADS) is the leading accredited digital repository for data generated by the archaeology, heritage and historic environment sectors. Founded in 1996, we are the only UK-wide repository for archaeological research data. This has particular importance as it often forms the primary record of the evidence derived from a destructive activity e.g. archaeological excavation - that cannot be repeated. The scope and nature of what is considered heritage data and is suitable...
ARCHER is the UK National Supercomputing Service. It allows researchers to run calculations and simulations that require a large number of processing cores working in parallel. The computer demands for such simulations far exceed the computer power typically available to an institution like ours (e.g. a local cluster). ARCHER allows us to run ocean and coupled ocean-atmosphere models that are at the cutting edge of the field. Generally, facilities like ARCHER enable the UK to be (and to remain)...
UAL has over 120 archives and special collections across its sites. These include material relating to book art, film, fine printing, performance, product design, screen, tailoring, typography and women's art. They support international PhDs and post-doctoral research and they are used in a wide variety of teaching and learning activities across many subject disciplines and courses at Foundation, BA and MA level. The importance of these collections was recognised by the HEFCE/UKRI Museums...
