Committed To Equal Opportunities
Overview
The School of Ocean Sciences (SOS), located on the Isle of Anglesey, is a multidisciplinary department with a focus on coastal and shelf sea sciences and a strong history of international research excellence and collaboration. Core research interests include Earth System Sciences, Oceanography, Marine Biology and Ecology, and Climate Change Science.
The Project
Earth Observations (EO) from space capture immensely valuable measurements of the climate of the UK and worldwide. EO data are complex and transforming these measurements into information usable for world-class science, climate services and enhanced policymaking is challenging, scientifically and technically. The new UK Earth Observation Climate Information Service (EOCIS) will address this challenge end-to-end, to make a positive difference to responses to the climate emergency. Climate information is an important tool in responding to climate change, in science, policy-making and business. EOCIS brings together UK expertise in Earth Observation to create and make available high quality, trustworthy climate information based on measurements of Earth’s environments from space. EOCIS builds on UK expertise in climate data and their exploitation, ranging from polar ice change to carbon cycling to drought, and will harness scientific skills in transforming EO data into climate services. EOCIS involves 14 partners (including Bangor University) across the UK.
