British Oceanographic Data Centre The British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) is a national facility for preserving and distributing

The British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) is a national facility for looking after and distributing data concerning the marine environment. We deal with biological, chemical, physical and geophysical data. Our databases contain measurements of nearly 22,000 different variables. Many of our staff have direct experience of marine data collection and analysis. They work alongside information technology specialists to ensure that data are documented and stored for current and future use.

The NERC Environmental Data Service (EDS), which includes the British Oceanographic Data Centre, plays a vital role in making environmental data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR).

Day-to-day, the EDS provides access to a wide range of datasets and assigns Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to ensure data are discoverable and citable.

With expertise in scientific data collection, advanced management techniques, preservation techniques, and application development, the EDS team shares knowledge through training, outreach, and user support on both national and international levels.
