What3Words

what3words is a simple way to talk about precise location. We have divided the world into 3 metre squares and assigned each one a unique combination of 3 words - a what3words address. This means that anywhere in the world can be found using 3 easy-to-remember and easy-to-share dictionary words.

The free what3words app and map-site are used by millions of people, businesses, governments, charities and NGOs around the world to improve efficiencies, enhance customer experience and keep people safe. Our core technology (Public API and offline SDKs) is built into geographic information systems, car sat-navs, navigation apps and command and control software. Checkout pages accept what3words addresses for customer deliveries and hotels, travel guides and businesses provide their what3words address on contact pages and booking confirmations to help visitors find them more easily. Importantly, >80% of UK emergency services use what3words to help them locate and respond to 999 incidents.

NERC Field Spectroscopy Facility

NERC Field Spectroscopy Facility

The NERC Field Spectroscopy Facility is a 'lending library' of spectroscopic equipment to the UK science community and beyond into international collaborations and industry. We supply training and data analysis expertise for a range of scientific instruments from handheld field spectrometers to multispectral and hyperspectral Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) borne imagery. Our sensors are used in many scientific fields, including but not limited to: ecology, geology, oceanography, glaciology and volcanology. We provide both training in and the direct provision of: UAV flights with multispectral and much rarer full-range (VNIR and SWIR) hyperspectral data; UAV flights for photogrammetry and the generation of Digital Surface Models (DSMs). To ensure imagery collected can be accurately placed geographically, we use GNSS receivers and Ground Control Points (GCPs) to fix imagery onto the globe, allowing comparison with other co-incident data in GIS software and in custom processing workflows.
