List of CREW Projects
A number of staff from the Social, Economic and Geographical Sciences group contribute to work within CREW, Scotland's Centre of Expertise for Waters. CREW connects research and policy. We deliver objective and robust research and expert opinion to support the development and implementation of water policy in Scotland. CREW is a partnership between the James Hutton Institute and all Scottish Higher Education Institutes. The Centre is funded by the Scottish Government. CREW works closely with the Scotland’s Centre of Expertise on Climate Change, ClimateXChange.
