Research facilities

We provide high-technology research facilities including research ships and aircraft, analytical facilities, satellite data processing, supercomputers and pools of specialist equipment. These services are managed by NERC, but the majority are provided under contract, often by university departments.

If you are eligible for a NERC research grant you can apply for access to any of our services or facilities.

Alternatively, a full list of all facilities is available.

The most recent annual report for each facility is available on its web page. Alternatively, all the reports are available in one large document below.
