The Centre for Ecology & Hydrology
(CEH) is the UK's Centre of Excellence in
the terrestrial and freshwater environmental sciences. Our parent
organisation is the Natural Environment Research Council
(NERC). CEH's staff have specialist skills
in a wide range of environmental disciplines, ranging in scale from the
gene to whole Earth systems. Our research is aimed at improving our
understanding of both the environment and the processes that underlie
the Earth's support systems. We are particularly interested in the
impacts of human activity on natural environments.
We
aim to generate practicable solutions to today's pressing environmental
problems, so that a healthy, wealthy and sustainable environment can be
enhanced and maintained in the UK and worldwide.
Research at CEH
describes and understands the dynamics of terrestrial and freshwater
ecosystems through integrated monitoring, experimentation and
modelling. CEH seeks to enhance the United Kingdom's industrial
competitiveness through technology transfer and to improve research
training in the United Kingdom and capacity building overseas. Finally,
CEH is the custodian of nationally-important environmental data, with a
key role in promoting public awareness and understanding through
communication of relevant research.
CEH was created in 2000
through a merger of four formerly independent institutes. It has
approx. 500 staff, well-equipped laboratories and field facilities at
six main sites across Great Britain. The headquarters of CEH are
located at Wallingford, 20km south of Oxford. Other sites can be found
at Edinburgh, Lancaster, Bangor, Oxford and Monks Wood. CEH has an
annual budget of approx. 54 million Euro, being financed primarily by
the Natural Environment Research Council and contracted research
carried out for government customers and the European Research Framework Programme.
CEH research is managed in four interdisciplinary Science Programmes addressing key environmental themes and issues:
- Biodiversity
- Water
- Biogeochemistry
- Environmental Informatics
