The Earth Observation and Atmospheric Science Division contributes to and underpins UK and international programmes in environmental science through the provision of research expertise, services, and facilities in support of the UK science community.

Currently this includes:

  • Expertise in obtaining information on the surface and atmosphere using remote sensing methods.
  • Expertise in modelling environmental phenomena.
  • Expertise in and provision of facilities for generating archiving and distributing environmental data.
  • Expertise in and facilities for characterising spectral properties of environmental components.
  • Expertise in and facilities for atmospheric research using radars.
  • Expertise in the technology and practice of remote sensing at mm and sub-mm wavelengths.
  • Carrying out a programme of research in aspects of environmental science.
  • Developing e-science applications in environmental research.
