The team behind Scotland’s Environment Web [1], a James Hutton Institute-supported website aiming to be a ‘one-stop’ resource to access a variety of information resources on the Scottish environment, have launched a newly redesigned format which incorporates significant user feedback.
The website, designed to bring together information from a wide range of institutions involved in monitoring Scotland’s environment, has revolutionised the way people access and work with environmental data, attracting a new audience who are hungry to learn about their surroundings and are eager to make a difference. New website features include:
Through partnerships and collaboration, Scotland’s environment web is a growing network of interconnected, trusted and authoritative sources of data and information. These websites are branded as ‘Part of Scotland’s environment’ and contain more detailed and specialised environmental data on certain topics. This currently includes:
The SEWeb team are already working on a new and improved version of the Land Information Search tool, and a data catalogue that will help users search and discover all the data resources accesible through the website. Users can expect to see new Our environment topics, map data layers and projects on Project Finder being added as the team develop new topics.
Please note the URL (address) of the website has changed; be sure to update any bookmarks with the new URL: www.environment.gov.scot [9].
