COMET has been awarded £950,000 by NERC to deliver cutting-edge research on earthquakes and volcanoes and to continue the development of hazard monitoring services.

NERC has officially announced the new funding for COMET on Wednesday 29 May.  This will enable ambitious, large-scale science which helps us to understand global change and natural disasters over the next two years.

NERC National Capability lets the UK deliver world-leading environmental science, support national strategic needs, and respond to emergencies. It includes major research infrastructure and facilities, large-scale, long-term research programmes, and the provision of expert advice and services for public and national good.
