Showing results for "Infrastructure" in Nature & Ecology

UK marine research is at a special moment in time. We have a window of opportunity to persuade the government of the benefits that come from understanding the ocean, and of the importance of investing in the infrastructure we rely on to carry out our vital work - that's ships, buoys, satellites, autonomous vehicles, and more. The Future Marine Research Infrastructure (FMRI) programme is trying to secure that funding, ensuring we can plan and carry out critical ocean research for the next 20 - 30 years. But, what actually is FMRI? How does it work? And why do we all need to get involved in ...

Understand more about the interaction between the natural and built environments, and what impact we are currently having on what can be sometimes opposing environments.

We will also explore what people think is important when considering developable areas and how, through good design and collaboration we can create better place and ...
