NEWS STORY: NERC Celebrates 50th Anniversary

New publication to celebrate NERC’s Anniversary.

To mark its 50th anniversary, NERC has produced Great science for a great future, a publication outlining just a few of the impacts of the research we support. These include:

• defending people and property from floods
• supporting international agreements to protect the ozone layer from human emissions
• protecting the UK’s peregrine falcons from poisonous pesticides
• underpinning efforts to reduce air pollution and deal with problems like acid rain and nitrogen deposition
• developing innovative new products that control harmful crop pests without harming the wider environment.
