Quantitative Understanding Predictions Forecasts Scenario Planning … to produce geoscientifically based “what if scenarios” and putting these into context in a subsurface information system The vision is to develop the Environmental Modelling Platform which links data, knowledge and concepts seamlessly to numerical process models…. Uncertainty Refinement

© NERC All rights reserved The environmental challenges ahead The ability of to provide clean and affordable drinking water and water for industrial use from ground or surface water Managing the risks of flooding from the sea, rivers, rainfall run-off and groundwater The safe disposal, containment and potential re-use of anthropogenic waste products Prediction of ground conditions for major infrastructure projects (transport, housing, utilities) The mitigation of physical hazard such as landslides, subsidence, earthquakes and tsunamis The conservation of land to maintain food production as well as protecting biodiversity The sustainable management of ground sourced heating and cooling in a changing environment
