| Description | CEH is the UK's Centre of Excellence for integrated research in terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, including land-atmosphere interactions. We seek to understand the environment, how it sustains life, and the human impact on it - so that together, people and nature can prosper. Through NERC national capability funding, CEH enables the UK to deliver world-leading environmental science, to meet national strategic needs and help the Government respond to emergencies. CEH activity is delivered via projects and programmes and specific Key Findings can be found under those relevant entries. Selected CEH-level highlights are • Published 2,935 ISI Journal articles (54,500 citations) and 627 Contract Reports o Highest cited UK institution in Biodiversity & Conservation and Water Resources over the last 20 years (InCites); o 95% publications externally co-authored, involving 139 countries; o 3 scientists in the 2019 global list of Highly Cited Researchers; o Supervised/co-supervision 336 PhD Students across 63 national and international universities. • Data Centres supporting 150,000 users and 977,000 online visits (2015/16). • 50 years of biological recording establishing >250,000,000 records of >40,000 species. • 40 year UK soils archive; 9,500 samples analysed; 4,500 frozen 'living' samples. • Database of 21,922,725 days of UK river flow data from 1,529 gauging stations. • UK Greenhouse Gas Flux network generated >2 million half-hourly observations. • Delivered across the UK the first, globally, national real-time soil moisture monitoring network (COSMOS) and the UK Hydrological Outlook. • Developed the world's first field-scale national crop map from satellite radar data. • |
| Exploitation Route | Within each programme and project, we seek to develop a blend of relevant pathways to impact: e.g. science to policy, commercial innovation, capacity and capability development, development of environmental practices, forecasting and decision support tools, and public engagement with research CEH is committed to making our scientific data, models and publications accessible, and thereby also optimising CEH's reach and impact. CEH follows UKRI and other funder open access policies. CEH applies UKRI's Concordat on Open Research Data, NERC data policy and the FAIR Data Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable), across its Data and Records Centres. Our model and data catalogues are integrated, alongside a model repository. |

| Description | CEH stimulates, leads and participates in trans-disciplinary partnerships involving academia, public, private and third sectors and the public themselves, at national and international scales. The strategic context for CEH Impact and Knowledge Exchange (KE) is represented as use inspired and applied research and development. Through co-design and co-delivery, our research partnerships are directed to have the greatest impact by ensuring outcomes are relevant for societal needs, make a material difference and achieve science excellence. Within each programme and project, we seek to develop a blend of relevant pathways to impact: e.g. science to policy, commercial innovation, capacity and capability development, development of environmental practices, forecasting and decision support tools, and public engagement with research.
