Breaking news

CPAT have asked us to look at their online historical environmental record. This is the destination for the data we are collecting through our survey. We are privileged to be asked to do this as its not public yet.

If you would like to have a go, the link is below. Let Jan or Jemma know how you got on. We will feed back to CPAT.

My first impression is that the search criteria are many and if you are looking for something specific you could miss it by entering the wrong term, even if its close. If you keep the search broad and get over 100 hundred hits you are restricted to the first 100 hits(letters ABC) and anything further down the alphabet cannot be accessed. Its a start, and as yet there are gaps in it, but the work we are doing is designed to help fill them, as well as to educate us. Overall its a useful tool and we should make every effort to contribute as much as we can.
