Our long-term environmental data
Our data portals enable you to visualise and interrogate some of the diverse environmental datasets held by UKCEH.
Environmental Information Platform
The Environmental Information Platform provides enhanced access to UKCEH's key data holdings via web-based tools, programming interfaces and a data catalogue. The Platform allows us to build applications for different audiences and to deliver datasets directly to end-users in the most appropriate way. The platform can also provide programmatic access to datasets where appropriate, to enable users to integrate datasets into their own research or applications. The portals available via the Environmental Information Platform make our research data accessible, searchable and reusable.
