The Station has been open since 1991 when it was established and financed by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).  It is leased from Kings Bay a/s (a Norwegian Company) by NERC and currently delivered and operated by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), with support from the NERC Arctic Office. It sits as one of fourteen internationally operated stations that form part of this unique northernmost research community.

The Station provides excellent facilities and accommodation for...

The Manar al-Athar photo-archive, based in the Faculty of Classics at the University of Oxford, provides high-resolution, searchable images for teaching, research, publication, and heritage work. These images of archaeological sites, buildings and artworks, cover the areas of the former Roman Empire which later came under Islamic rule (such as Syro-Palestine/the Levant, Egypt and North Africa), and adjoining regions (such as Armenia and Georgia). The chronological range is from c. 300 BC through...

The Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) runs the UK's national data centre for atmospheric and earth observation research, hosting Petabytes of climate model, atmospheric observations and satellite data. 

The CEDA Archive forms part of NERC's Environmental Data Service (EDS) - a network of data centres covering all aspects of environmental science. The EDS provides a focal point for NERC's scientific data and information. We work with the other data centres to ensure that...

The NERC Field Spectroscopy Facility maintains and provides a pool of state-of-the-art spectroscopy instruments for use by the UK research community. We are also develop and deliver training courses, development and improve EO instrumentation and work with national bodies in support of calibration/validation exercises. 

Our equipment pool contains field spectrometers; logging and field portable sunphotometers; UAV sensors including a hyperspectral imager with LiDAR, Sentinel 2/WorldView...

ORE Catapult has appointed the Universities of Strathclyde and Manchester to form the Electrical Infrastructure Research Hub.

The Hub will accelerate research and development activities, tackling the challenge of making the UK’s electrical infrastructure systems future-proof to meet the needs of the growing offshore wind, wave and tidal industries.

With a five-year investment of around £700k from ORE Catapult, and £2.4m match funding from its university partners, the Hub will address a...

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...

The National Phenome Centre, initially funded by a 5 year grant from the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and led by Imperial College London and King’s College London, was founded in 2012 to deliver access to a world-class capability in metabolic phenotyping, to benefit the whole UK translational medicine community.

The Centre’s establishment enables us to take advantage of an unprecedented opportunity offered by the legacy of the 2012...

Situated just metres off the coast of Fife, the 7MW Levenmouth Demonstration Turbine (LDT) was acquired by the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult in 2015 and is the world’s largest and most advanced open access offshore wind turbine dedicated to research and demonstration. Since then, 119 SMEs have accessed the facility for technology development, testing or demonstration, providing an invaluable and unique facility for businesses to innovate, to prove new technologies and find vital...

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...
