The SPLINT infrastructure – Supporting a range of independent student and staff research projects

The SPLINT infrastructure supports a wide range of activities in the department via the provision of data, software and computing hardware. A variety of staff and students report here on how their work has benefited from the HEFCE funding to the Department of Geography at Leicester; their examples are illustrative of the breadth of projects independent of, but impacted by, SPLINT.
