NERC "Environmental Directions" brochure available The following is taken from the document's summary: Environmental Directions summarises the results of extensive consultation between the Natural Environmental Research Council and its scientific and user communities. The introduction sets the scene by identifying six environmental and natural resource issues. The scientific challenges reflect the views of the NERC scientific community on the exciting areas of their science for the next five to ten years. The views of NERC's diverse user community are reflected in the Environmental Foresight Topics: Technological opportunities and markets that will grow or emerge in the next 10-20 years. These elements can be linked together to show how exciting basic science will ultimately contribute to environmental and economic competitiveness.
