正文(英文) | NERC is launching its Picture It: Your Environment photo competition, as part of the build up to our free interactive showcase event, UnEarthed, in Edinburgh (17-19 November). NERC wants people across the UK, from Shetland to Southampton, to submit images that showcase UK environmental science and its importance in everyday life. The subject of the photo could be wind turbine arrays, beautiful coastlines teeming with aquatic life, or even mould growing around an old window frame. BBC presenter and geologist Professor Iain Stewart and Fiona Shields, Head of Photography at the Guardian, will be on the judging panel and helping shortlist images in three categories: 11-17 years old, 18 and over, and NERC (NERC head office and centre staff and NERC-funded academics). Shortlisted pictures will be enlarged and on display at UnEarthed, NERC's free, interactive showcase at Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh (17-19 November), where members of the public will vote on the overall winners. A once-in-a-lifetime experience will be on offer to winners in each category: an expenses-paid invitation to the official naming ceremony of the RRS Sir David Attenborough, NERC's £200 million, state-of-the-art polar research ship. Ned Garnett, Associate Director of Research at NERC and a keen amateur photographer, said:

NERC is the UK's main agency for funding and managing research, training and knowledge exchange in the environmental sciences. Our work covers the full range of atmospheric, Earth, biological, terrestrial and aquatic science, from the deep oceans to the upper atmosphere and from the poles to the equator. We coordinate some of the world's most exciting research projects, tackling major issues such as climate change, environmental influences on human health, the genetic make-up of life on Earth, and much more. NERC is a non-departmental public body. We receive around £330 million of annual funding from the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS). |
