The Energy Data Centre (EDC) is a part of the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) and provides a hub for information on all publically funded energy research happening in the UK.

The following types of information are held in the EDC:

• Data Catalogue - our collection of energy-related datasets; some are curated here at the Energy Data Centre, but there are links to others held elsewhere
• Project Catalogue - this contains information about publically funded research in energy derived from a...

The 14CHRONO Centre analyses a wide variety of carbon containing samples using Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) 14C to provide radiocarbon ages or fractions of modern carbon. We also provide AMS 14C analyses for archaeological companies, forensic investigations and industries interested in monitoring bio- vs. fossil based components. We collaborate with researchers around the world to construct radiocarbon calibration curves to convert radiocarbon ages to 'calendar' ages. We also provide...
