£208k boost for atmospheric chemists at University of York
ATMOSPHERIC chemists studying at the University of York who are developing a new archive have received a major Government funding boost.
The award of nearly £208,000 from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) will be invested in new computing infrastructure, allowing analysis of stored samples of air.
The award is part of £4.6m NERC funding announced by the Minister for Universities and Science, David Willetts.
The aim is to allow the UK research community to take advantage of existing environmental data for science.
