©NERC Confidential The largest funder of environmental research in the UK The main UK agency for funding, managing research, training and knowledge exchange in environmental sciences We use our budget of ~£400m to fund research in Universities and our own Research Centres: – Centre for Ecology and Hydrology – British Antarctic Survey – British Geological Survey – National Oceanographic Centre We also work with many national and international partners to deliver research What is NERC?

©NERC Confidential Selected investments - water Changing Water Cycle (£10.1m) – Quantitative understanding involving all of the earth system, improving decadal predictions of regional precipitation, evapotranspiration, soil moisture, hydrological storage and fluxes. Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (£13m) – Functional role of biodiversity in key ecosystem processes – Valuation of Biodiversity and Natural Resources Flood Risk and Extreme Events (£7.4m) – Hydrological, meteorological, terrestrial and coastal oceanography communities, to better forecast and quantify flood risk.
