ITE contributes to, and draws upon, the collective knowledge of the 13 sister institutes which make up the Natural Environment Research Council, spanning all the environmental sciences. The Institute studies the factors determining the structure, composition and processes of land and freshwater systems, and of individual plant and animal species. It is developing a sounder scientific basis for predicting and modelling environmental trends arising from natural or man- made change. The results of this research are available to those responsible for the protection, management and wise use of our natural resources. One quarter of ITE's work is research commissioned by customers, such as the Department of Environment, the European Economic Community, the Nature Conservancy Council and the Overseas Development Administration. The remainder is fundamental research supported by NERC. ITE's expertise is widely used by international organizations in overseas projects and programmes of research.

  • Shipbuilding Catching Shellfish
    IntroductionIntroduction Much of the East Riding of Yorkshire adjoins water: the North Sea and the River Humber and its tributaries. Over the centuries men have needed boats to travel over the water and to gather food from under it. Naturally people with the right skills set up to build these boats. Some ship building operations are quite well known, such as those in Beverley and Hull. They have been documented in exhibitions in other local museums. This exhibition looks at some less well known boat building yards and boat builders both on the east coast and along the banks of the Humber. It has been researched and produced by the Skidby Windmill Volunteer Team. Prehistory- the Ferriby boats The Yorkshire Wolds have been home to people since Neolithic times and the River Humber has been an important transport route allowing goods and people to travel in all directions by water. For thousands of years this was the easiest and safest way to travel. It is therefore not surprising that North Ferriby was the site of one of the oldest boatyards in Europe as well as being an important harbour. Above: hypothetical reconstruction of a Ferriby boat. Right: Excavation in 1963 In 1937 changes to the tidal currents exposed three large oak planks preserved in the mud which Ted and Willy Wright recognised as belonging to very early boats. At first these were thought to be Viking but later tests confirmed that they were Bronze Age and, at 4000 years A half-scale replica of the Ferriby boats called Oakleaf has been built and sea trials proved old they are some of the oldest boats discovered in Europe.

  • John Steinberg and Ocean Acoustics
    A Global Forum for Naval Historical Scholarship International Journal of Naval History Volume 2 Number 1 April 2003 From Surveillance to Global Warming: John Steinberg and Ocean Acoustics Gary E. Weir U.S. Naval Historical Center I would like to offer two scenarios separated by time and place but linked by both an individual and a historically significant perspective on the expansion of human knowledge. In this initial product taken from a study in progress, I shall discuss the significance of the revolutionary work in ocean acoustics done by John Steinberg of Bell Telephone Laboratories. A physicist and acoustician, Steinberg made a second career for himself at the Institute of Marine Science at the University of Miami after his retirement from Bell in 1957. The historically significant perspective to which I refer emerged from my work on the history of the Navy’s involvement in the ocean sciences. In my book An Ocean in Common, published in 2001, I suggested that the demands of war, the availability of unprecedented talent and resources, and the relentless application cultural translation between 1940 and 1945 transformed the uncertain relationship between civilian ocean scientists and the U.S. Navy into a regular professional dialogue, a fluid partnership that served both human knowledge and the considerable discrete ambitions of both civilian science and the Navy.[1] In linking the following two episodes, I shall illustrate the dynamics of this early postwar naval-scientific dialogue, highlight John Steinberg’s unheralded discoveries, and demonstrate the ease with which scientific revelations about the world ocean passed from pure discovery, to military application, to civilian applied science, and back again.
