Natural Flood Management (NFM) Heat Maps

These heat maps identify locations with the highest economic flood reduction benefits from implementing Natural Flood management (NFM) measures. They have been produced to help identify potential...

Micromechanics of shear failure in a porous rock: a combined dataset of high-resolution time-resolved 3D x-ray micro-tomography volumes and local 3D strain fields with contemporaneous acoustic emissions and ultrasonic velocity survey waveforms

This dataset shows both the micro-scale mechanisms and acoustic response involved in shear failure of a deforming porous rock. To our knowledge, this is the first such dataset to combine...

Conservation biological control experiments data, 2005-2009 - RELU Re-bugging the system: promoting adoption of alternative pest management strategies in field crop

This set of conservation biological control experiments data was collected as part of five field experiments investigating agricultural biological control techniques, particularly the effect of...

Semiochemical experiment data, 2005-2009 - RELU Re-bugging the system: promoting adoption of alternative pest management strategies in field crop systems

The semiochemical experiment data were collected from novel laboratory, semi-field- and field-scale bioassay experiments taking behavioural observations and counts of pest insects and their natural...

Habitat point records from 1983 Smith Isles of Scilly littoral fauna survey

This report covers work done under contract to the NCC which was part only of a larger survey of the Isles of Scilly and is therefore far from comprehensive. The remit was limited to descriptions...

EPSRC Project: CONTAIN - The impaCt of hydrOcarbon depletioN on the Treatment of cAprocks within performance assessment for CO2 InjectioN schemes

The UK is committed to meeting stringent carbon dioxide emission targets over the next 35 years. One potentially valuable technology in achieving this target is the development of Carbon Capture...

Evolutionary rise of deep-rooting forests and enhanced chemical weathering: Quantitative investigations into the current paradigm (NERC grant NE/J007897/1)

The co-evolution and geographical spread of trees and deep-rooting systems is widely proposed to represent the 'Devonian engine' of global change that drove the weathering of soil minerals and...

In-situ rock deformation and micron-scale crack network evolution: a high-resolution time-resolved x-ray micro-tomography dataset (NERC Grant NE/R001693/1)

This collection comprises two time-series of 3D in-situ synchrotron x-ray microtomography (μCT) volumes showing two Ailsa Craig micro-granite samples (ACfresh02 and ACHT01) undergoing triaxial...

Historic Environment Records - Scotland

HERs (Historic Environment Records) developed out of SMRs (Sites and Monuments Records). SMRs were established from the 1960s onwards in response to the loss of the archaeological resource through...

Scales of preservation and root causes of mantle heterogeneities in the Iapetan Ocean convecting upper mantle NERC grant NE/J00457X/1

Although the terrestrial mantle comprises ~80 vol.% of our planet, its compositional architecture is not well understood despite the importance such knowledge holds for constraining Earth's thermal...

Habitat point records from 1986-87 OPRU/MNCR Shetland, Foula and Fair Isle survey

The Shetland Islands are Britain's most northerly extremity and have a long, complex coastline with numerous islands, sheltered inlets and tide-swept channels. They lie at the confluence of the...

Habitat point records from 1987 Wood Flamborough Head sublittoral survey

Flamborough Headland is a Heritage Coast and SSSI, noted not only for its dramatic scenery and geological formations, but also for the colonies of seabirds that breed on the cliffs. It is the most...

Compilation of sediment core data from the glacial North Pacific, sourced from the literature. (NERC grant NE/N011716/1)

Collection of North Pacific core-top foraminifera census data. Grant abstract: The geological record offers an invaluable window into the different ways earth's climate can operate. The most recent...

Summarised Botanical Value Map 2021 and 2022 (England)

The Summarised Botanical Value Map for England is a map identifying areas likely to be rich in high quality habitat based on BSBI vascular plant records. Under the Natural Capital and Ecosystem...

National Seagrass Layer (England)

Overview Natural England and the Environment Agency have collaborated to produce a seagrass layer for English waters, which aims to provide a comprehensive geospatial dataset of surveys of both...
