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...

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...

Located in the Materials Analysis Laboratory (D242) of the Dawson Building, the Department of Archaeology has built up an equipment centre to facilitate the study of archaeological artefacts and materials. The centre supports a commercial research arm DARC run by Dr Kamal Badresharny and houses a number of analytical facilities: • Hitachi TM3000 SEM, with Oxford instruments EDAX • Bruker tracer 5i Portable XRF • Perkin Elmer Spectrum 2 FTIR • Camspec 17330 UV-Vis Spectrometer • Konica Minolta...

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...

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...

The Archives Hub brings together descriptions of thousands of the UK’s archive collections. Representing over 350 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...

ARK is Northern Ireland's social policy hub, and is a joint initiative across Queen's University Belfast and Ulster University. Our goal is to provide open access information on the social and political context in Northern Ireland, in order to support the research and evidence base, to support civic society, and to challenge policies. We provide open access public attitudes survey data, a comprehensive archive on material relating to the conflict in Northern Ireland (CAIN), detailed information...

The Ashmolean is the oldest purpose-built public museum in the world, opening within the University of Oxford in 1683. Its historic collections are an integral part of our intellectual heritage, playing an important role in generating and supporting research for over 300 years. The collections and archives at the Ashmolean are a global resource comprising over 1 million objects and works of art covering almost the entire span of human history. The breadth and quality of the collections make the...

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...
