UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology

The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology is an independent, not‑for‑profit national environmental science institute with around 500 scientists based across four UK sites. Its multi‑site footprint links specialist analytical laboratories, experimental facilities and instrumented field observatories with nearby university ecosystems, giving partners access to both controlled testing and real‑world, long‑term measurements. UKCEH also stewards nationally significant environmental datasets and operates open and licensed data services, enabling evidence workflows and data product integration for industry. Research is supported by UK Research and Innovation—through NERC—and other competitive UK and international funders. A dedicated business engagement and data licensing function supports contract research, consultancy and commercialization of data products.
