UK DNA

WORKING GROUP

DNA has a range of potentially valuable applications in environmental monitoring, from detecting rare or invasive species through to characterising whole communities. The UK DNA Working Group (UKDNA WG) is a forum for the wide community of government agencies, academics and other stakeholders to discuss priorities and emerging developments in the use of DNA for environmental monitoring.

EO Cal Val

WORKING GROUP

The UKEOF Earth Observation Calibration & Validation Working Group takes an holistic view of the role of earth observation (satellite and drones) within UK-wide environmental monitoring, focussing on linking observations across spatial scales, i.e. from ground observations to drones to satellites.

Natural Capital

WORKING GROUP

Natural capital assets are those aspects of the natural environment that underpin delivery of ecosystem services or benefits. In relation to natural capital metrics, UKEOF aims to identify relevant environmental observation priorities and gaps. Maintaining a healthy stock of natural capital assets is a key government objective and meeting that objective requires an effective monitoring strategy.

Other activities

Community

For the framework to succeed, ‘buy-in’ and ownership from the diverse community with an interest in observations is essential. This includes funders, scientists, policy makers and others who plan, undertake and /or use the results of observations.
