Abstract
This chapter explores how biologists and scientists build enormous amounts of data, techniques, and models to address the recent patterns in nature occurring in the UK. Most of the data being used in climate change research has been collected by volunteers, with increasing contributions from citizen science projects. The reliance on volunteers continues due to the lack of funding for wide-scale and long-term climate change research. Moreover, the UK is one of the best-studied and data-rich parts of the world. This is because of its database of phenological observations and species distribution records which span back over three centuries. The chapter shows that the emergence of new equipment and experimental approaches have transformed climate change science.
