The Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) is a world-class research organisation for integrated research in terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems and their interaction with the atmosphere.
Working with researchers, policy-makers, industry and society, CEH delivers solutions to complex environmental challenges. CEH excels in cross-disciplinary science, building on national capability in terms of long-term data sets, modelling capabilities and monitoring infrastructure.
