NERC Services & Facilities (S&F)
Policy & Processes Manual

NERC maintains an extensive portfolio of Services & Facilities, as listed in Annex 1, which support environmental science. These Services & Facilities are diverse, including the NERC aircraft, several Earth observation capabilities and numerous specialist laboratories. Despite their diversity, however, they share many features in common; they need to conform to certain underlying policies if NERC is to be seen to be consistent.

This manual sets out the policy framework within which the Services & Facilities should operate. Not all policies are applicable in all circumstances, and this is made clear where appropriate.
