Shelf Sea Biogeochemistry

Sea surface

The Shelf Sea Biogeochemistry research programme is co-funded by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) and has a budget of £10·5m. The programme directly relates to the delivery of the NERC Earth system science theme.

The aim of the programme is to reduce the uncertainty in our understanding of nutrient and carbon cycling within the shelf seas, and of their overall role in global biogeochemical cycles. The programme will also provide effective policy advice and make a significant contribution to the Living With Environmental Change programme. More about the Shelf Sea Biogeochemistry research programme
