The ATI Nano- Manufacture and Processing RII consolidates activities that design, process, fabricate, characterise and test novel materials and devices that rely on the nano/micro-scale. This leads naturally to themes in energy harvesting and storage, communications (wireless & optical), and sensors. These strands enable applications, such as self-powered sensor nodes on the Internet of Things. They support and complement ATI “fabrication and characterisation” themes in Ion Beam Implant...

The AMF was established in April 2014, following a review of NCAS’s ground-based facilities and the service they provided to the community. Its remit is threefold: (i) to deploy instrumentation and provide a quality-controlled data product for field measurements; (ii) to provide underpinning laboratory facilities for calibration and experimentation; and (iii) to provide access to NCAS field sites for guest instrumentation. In 2018, under the direction of NERC, AMF merged with its sister facility...

Auchencorth Moss Atmospheric Observatory (AMo), is a research infrastructure sited on an ombrotrophic peatland at 270 m elevation in South East Scotland (55ᵒ47’36”N, 3°14’41” W), which is managed by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH). It is used primarily to carry out research on atmospheric composition, surface-atmosphere exchange of pollutants and studies in carbon catchments.

The landscape of Auchencorth Moss was first used in 1994 to study fluxes of methane (CH₄) gas. In 1995...

Comprising 4 Innovation Accelerators, to rapidly develop and commercialise RDI projects; demonstration space and flexible spaces for events; and high-quality office space. It provides the opportunity for industry to coalesce, growing capability and capacity to boost regional economic development in the low carbon and offshore wind sectors, securing collaboration between industry and the research base. Innovation Accelerators...

ALSPAC is a multi-generational study that began as a pregnancy/birth cohort. In 1991 and 1992, 14,500 pregnant women living in and around Bristol were recruited into the study. Detailed data have been collected on these women and their partners (the original parents, known as G0) and their children (the index participants, G1). In recent years the study has also enrolled the children of the children (G2).

The overarching objective for ALSPAC is to maintain its position as the premier multi...

BGS Marine Operations is a marine engineering facility that provides sampling and sensing equipment to investigate seabed and sub-seabed geology and processes. The equipment includes 2 types of remote seafloor corer / drill:

• RD2: The BGS Remote Drill Two, RD2, is our most advanced seafloor robotic drilling and coring system. It can penetrate up to 50m below the seabed and operate down to water depths of 4000m. RD2 can drill and core a wide variety of lithologies ranging from consolidated...
