About the talk

Eleanor will talk about the importance of statistics in understanding the state of the natural environment as part of the Defra funded Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment programme. This is a science innovation and transformation programme set up to collect data on the extent, condition and change over time of England's land and water environments, as part of the UK government's commitment to leave the environment in a better state for future generations. Statistics is a fundamental part of the programme, from designing networks for data collection through to analysis and inference.
