CEH Data Holdings

CEH is a major custodian of environmental data for the UK. We have significant capabilities in data collation and management, and information systems development. We use these skills, together with our data archives, to support large-scale, long-term environmental research.

CEH has a unique capability in terms of different types of data, the length of its datasets and the geographical spread of the data from across the UK. There are currently more than 180 active monitoring sites across Great Britain where CEH is involved.

Environmental Information Data Centre

CEH's EIDC (Environmental Information Data Centre) is the overarching data centre and coordinates and consolidates environmental data management and information systems across CEH. It carries out corporate functions for CEH as a whole including representation of NERC Designated Data Centre (DDC) functions. DDCs hosted by CEH include the National Water Archive, The Biological Records Centre, the UK Environmental Change Network and the NERC Environmental Bioinformatics Centre (NEBC).
