About Natural Environment Research Council
The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) is one of the seven UK Research Councils, which fund and manage research in the UK. NERC is the leading body in the UK for research, survey, monitoring and training in the environmental sciences. NERC supports research and training in universities and in its own Centres, Surveys and Units.

The Institute for Terrestrial Ecology, the Institute for Hydrology and the British Geological Survey are only three of the specialist Institutes supported by NERC who incorporate remotely sensed data into their research and project work.
