Science at the

Environment Agency

Science underpins the work of the Environment Agency. It provides an up-to-date

understanding of the world about us and helps us to develop monitoring tools and

techniques to manage our environment as efficiently and effectively as possible.

The work of the Environment Agency’s Science Department is a key ingredient in the

partnership between research, policy and operations that enables the Environment

Agency to protect and restore our environment.

The science programme focuses on five main areas of activity:

• Setting the agenda, by identifying where strategic science can inform our

evidence-based policies, advisory and regulatory roles;

• Funding science, by supporting programmes, projects and people in

response to long-term strategic needs, medium-term policy priorities and

shorter-term operational requirements;

• Managing science, by ensuring that our programmes and projects are fit

for purpose and executed according to international scientific standards;

• Carrying out science, by undertaking research – either by contracting it

out to research organisations and consultancies or by doing it ourselves;

• Delivering information, advice, tools and techniques, by making

appropriate products available to our policy and operations staff.
