The National Environmental Isotope Facility (NEIF) provides world–leading integrated analytical capability to support the UK NERC science communities. The facility provides: (i) unparalleled analytical capacity and data quality to serve internationally competitive research projects and programmes, (ii) a diverse range of specialist expertise and instrumentation, not available locally in most HEIs, (iii) a national platform for innovation that supports training, development and the international...

A £2 million collaboration between ORE Catapult and University of Hull, the UK Operations & Maintenance Centre of Excellence (O&MCoE) is building on the Humber region’s energy heritage and extensive experience of servicing offshore wind farms. It is a national centre of excellence with international impact.

By bringing together offshore wind owners, operators, supply chain, industry leaders, regulators and academia, the O&M Centre of Excellence works with UK industry to drive solution...

JASMIN is a globally-unique data analysis facility. It provides storage and compute facilities to enable data-intensive environmental science. Over 1600 users are currently supported, exploring topics ranging from climate change and oceanography to air pollution, earthquake deformation and analysis of wildlife populations.

Centred more around storage and data analysis than a "traditional" supercomputer, JASMIN provides flexibility for a wide range of data-intensive analysis workflows. Several...

What it does: the team uses and develops digital recording methodologies to support integrated archaeological excavation and research. Direct to digital recording, including in-trench survey and data capture, is supported by a GIS database system and on-site wireless networks. The facility includes databases, robotic total station and GPS survey equipment, a wireless field network including tablet computers, and expertise in their use. There are also dedicated areas for processing and studying...

Researchers at the University of Hull have recently started to explore how to alleviate heat stress in women exercising in hot conditions. The work, led by Dr Andrew Garrett will investigate how females respond and adapt to hot conditions, using a short-term heat acclimation regime that they have previously, successfully, used with male participants only (http://theconversation.com/elite-training-in-hot-conditions-for-competi…). The facility is important...

The Physical Sciences Data-science Service is a National Research Facility which brings together tools and resources for UK researchers in physical sciences, including chemistry, crystallography, materials and related fields. It provides access to web-based data services are which are freely accessible for academic users from the UK.

The High Value Manufacturing Catapult is the go-to place for manufacturing technology innovation in the UK. Our seven centres, listed below, work across 17 locations covering all parts of country to support manufacturers in over 4,000 projects per year, offering open access to the latest industrial scale equipment, leading expertise and an environment of collaboration between industry, academia and government. We cover the full range of manufacturing technology capabilities, from biologics to...

A collection of internet of things (IoT) sensors and other environmental and infrastructure monitoring equipment providing real-time data from city systems, infrastructure an the environment.  Currently over 3500 live data streams.  Data is streamed into an open data system and is immediately available for download or visualisation through an open data platform.  Observations are taken across over 60 different indicators including air quality, traffic, energy, weather, people movement etc. ...

UH HPC provides high-performance computing facilities to research staff and students at UH and to a community of collaborators nationally and internationally, including externally funded consortia such as LOFAR-UK and WEAVE. It aims to facilitate both medium-scale HPC requirements (with around 3,200 compute cores) and high-throughput data processing (with around 2 PB of attached fast storage). Applications include computational fluid dynamics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, 'big...
