Tellus How - An exemplar approach for end-user innovation and follow up of major NERC environmental survey projects

TELLUS HOW建立在nerc资助的TELLUS South West和G-Base调查项目的基础上，该项目于2013- 2014年在康沃尔和德文郡完成。以Tellus South West为例，Tellus HOW将扩大利益相关者对NERC数据的理解、应用和创新使用，将NERC研究和数据嵌入到最终用户的业务流程中，识别和传达影响的证据，并建议明确的途径和机制，以提高未来NERC环境调查项目的影响，以及未来外部合作伙伴和财团资助的可能性。TELLUS HOW交付合作伙伴包括NERC英国地质调查局（BGS）、NERC生态与水文学中心（CEH）、埃克塞特大学坎伯恩矿业学院（CSM）和研究与知识转移（RKT）部门。该项目是围绕交付合作伙伴的员工借调到西南部地区的企业和地方政府（最终用户合作伙伴）而建立的：康沃尔委员会是康沃尔和锡利群岛的统一权威机构，为50多万人口提供广泛的监管和公共服务责任。Tellus How将协助理事会实现环境管理方面的愿望和关注，包括自然和工业遗产、健康和福祉、规划和再生。最佳做法和经验教训将被转移到区域和国家的其他地方政府组织。康沃尔野生动物信托基金（CWT），康沃尔和锡利群岛环境记录中心（ERCCIS）和康沃尔环境顾问有限公司（CEC），是一套密切合作的中小企业和组织，旨在支持和保护康沃尔，锡利群岛和更广泛地区的野生动物和生物多样性改善。借调将帮助CEC加强或开发新的服务，并帮助CWT / ERCCIS发展知识和能力，这些知识和能力可输出到其他野生动物信托基金、非政府组织和记录中心。Treliver Minerals Ltd是一家在英国注册的公司（SME），积极参与英格兰西南部锡和伴生金属的勘探。Tellus HOW将通过Tellus数据的地面真实性和对矿化基础控制的理解，帮助公司实现勘探目标。Wardell Armstrong International是一家采矿工程/环境咨询公司，在英国设有10个区域办事处，在哈萨克斯坦和俄罗斯设有国际办事处，为工业矿物部门提供服务，员工总数接近400人。借调将帮助公司为其国际业务开发Tellus类型数据集的新应用，包括空间数据建模和可视化工具的评估。3D矿山测量国际有限公司是一家总部位于康沃尔的中小企业，提供一系列服务，包括基础设施建模，3D设计分析，体积测量，3D可视化，法医分析和危险条件调查。3DMSI已经拥有先进的技术专长来利用TELLUS数据，但打算通过该项目与其他利益相关者和合作伙伴合作，探索新的商业机会并开展合作活动。每次借调将为最终用户提供直接访问交付合作伙伴在数据解释、应用和管理方面的专业知识和诀窍，并协助将NERC数据和知识整合到其业务流程、信息系统、工具集和培训计划中。对交付合作伙伴和NERC的反馈将提供NERC数据和研究影响的证据和案例研究，改进对最终用户业务需求的理解，并指导用户对数据交付机制、访问和解释工具以及相关技能要求的具体需求。关键词：Tellus，知识交流，借调，商业，中小企业，地方政府

TELLUS HOW builds on the NERC-funded Tellus South West and G-Base survey projects completed in 2013-14 in Cornwall and Devon. Using Tellus South West as an exemplar, TELLUS HOW will broaden stakeholder understanding, application and innovative use of NERC data, embed NERC research and data into end-user business processes, identify and communicate evidence of impact, and recommend clear pathways and mechanisms to enhance both the impact of future NERC environmental survey projects and the likelihood of future funding contributions from external partners and consortia.The TELLUS HOW Delivery Partners comprise the NERC British Geological Survey (BGS), the NERC Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), and the University of Exeter Camborne School of Mines (CSM) and Research and Knowledge Transfer (RKT) departments. The project is built around a series of secondments of Delivery Partners' staff to businesses and local government (the End User Partners) in the south west region:Cornwall Council is the unitary authority for Cornwall and the Scilly Isles, with a wide range of regulatory and public service responsibilities for a population of over half a million people. Tellus How will assist the Council with aspirations and concerns in environmental management including natural and industrial heritage, health and wellbeing, and planning and regeneration. Best practices and lessons learned will be transferable to other local government organisations both regionally and nationally.Cornwall Wildlife Trust (CWT), the Environmental Records Centre for Cornwall and Isles of Scilly (ERCCIS) and Cornwall Environment Consultants Ltd (CEC), is a suite of close working SMEs and organisations seeking to support and protect wildlife and biodiversity improvement across Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly and wider region. The secondments will assist CEC to strengthen or develop new services and help CWT / ERCCIS develop knowledge and capability that is exportable to other Wildlife Trusts, NGO's and records centres.Treliver Minerals Ltd is a UK registered company (SME) with active involvement in exploration for tin and associated metals in south west England. Tellus HOW will assist the company with their exploration objectives through ground-truthing of Tellus data and understanding of underpinning controls on mineralisation.Wardell Armstrong International is a mining engineering/environmental consultancy that services the industrial minerals sector from ten regional offices in the UK and international offices in Kazakhstan and Russia, with a staff complement close to 400. Tellus How secondments will assist the company develop new applications of Tellus type datasets for its international business including evaluation of spatial data modelling and visualisation tools.3D Mine Surveying International Ltd is a Cornwall-based SME offering a range of services including infrastructure modelling, 3D design analysis, volumetric surveys, 3D visualisation, forensic analysis and hazardous condition surveys. 3DMSI already have advanced technical expertise in place to exploit TELLUS data, but intend through this project to work with other stakeholders and partners to explore new business opportunities and develop collaborative activity. Each secondment will provide End Users with direct access to Delivery Partners' expertise and know-how in data interpretation, applications and management, and assist with integration of NERC data and knowledge into their business processes, information systems, toolsets and training programmes. Feedback to Delivery Partners and NERC will provide evidence and case studies of impact of NERC data and research, improved understanding of end users business needs, and guidance on specific user requirements for data delivery mechanisms, access and interpretation tools and associated skills requirements.Keywords: Tellus, knowledge exchange, secondments, commercial, SMEs, local government
