The purpose of the Land Surface Modelling group is to better exploit existing expertise, data and tools to study land surface processes spanning a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, using both observations (in-situ, remote sensing) and modelling (off-line and coupled).

The Land Surface Modelling group combines research carried out at Reading University within NCAS Climate-Meteorology, Soil Science, Agriculture and Environmental Systems Science Centre (ESSC) with external collaborators, in particular the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), UK-Japan Climate Collaboration (UJCC) and UK Met Office - Hadley Centre.
