Our Mission:
The National Centre for Earth Observation's misson is to unlock the full potential of Earth observation to monitor, diagnose and predict climate and environmental change. By this we ensure that these scientific advances are delivered to the wider community embedded in world class science.
The National Centre for Earth Observation is a partnership of scientists and institutions, from a range of disciplines, who are using data from Earth observation satellites to monitor global and regional changes in the environment and to improve understanding of the Earth system so that we can predict future environmental conditions.
