UKCEH's new five-year science strategy outlines our ambition for the future at a time of unprecedented environmental, societal and economic challenges.
Hedgerows are vital for biodiversity, carbon capture, and soil health. While agri-environment schemes are helping improve their condition, a new UKCEH study shows hedgerow length in England remains unchanged since 2007.
In the latest episode of our Counting the Earth podcast, we explore microplastics and ask how much do we actually understand about their long-term effects?
A UKCEH delegation joined the science community at the recent biodiversity COP in Colombia, a key step in driving the global commitment needed to tackle the biodiversity crisis.
Tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the environment is complex. UKCEH experts discuss their role delivering new AMR evidence for a national research programme.
Prof Chris Evans has been appointed as an adviser to the independent body that provides the UK and devolved governments with guidance on how to tackle climate change.
We are currently conducting a survey to understand the barriers and enablers to farmers’ adoption of net-zero farming management practices. Take part here.
Relying on 'natural carbon sinks' like forests and oceans to offset ongoing CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use will not actually stop global warming, an international group of scientists say.
The Cumbrian Lakes Research Forum 2024 highlighted new freshwater monitoring and modelling techniques and lessons learnt from river and lake restoration
We recently hosted this year's General Assembly for SpongeScapes, an EU and UKRI-funded initiative to enhance landscape resilience to climate extremes like floods and droughts.
Environmental models are crucial for predicting natural systems, yet many use outdated programming practices or overlook ethical and sustainability issues. Dr Sam Harrison describes a recent workshop where experts discussed the challenges.
