Research Articles
The following articles have been written by environmental researchers with projects in the aNSwer database to provide information to the aNSwer readership about their work and its importance for environmental research. The aim of these environmental research articles is make them more publicly accessible.

Direct output from General Circulation Model (GCM) simulations are largely inadequate for regional scale impact analysis due to their relatively coarse spatial resolution. Important sub-grid regional scale differences in climate may be filtered out by the coarse output resolution. In order to overcome these difficulties and to provide useful local/regional scale climate scenarios for impacts modelling, a number of techniques have been developed which utilise direct output from a GCM, but also take account of observed regional variations in climate.

ERTDI Programme |
|
The Environmental Research Technological Development and Innovation (ERTDI) programme has been in operation since the beginning of 2000. Provision for the ERTDI programme is contained in the Irish Government's National Development Plan 2000 - 2006 under the Operational Programme for the Productive Sector. The programme is implemented by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on behalf of the Department of Environment and Local Government (DoELG).
