The Climatic Research Unit (CRU) is a component of the University of East Anglia and is one of the leading institutions concerned with the study of natural and anthropogenic climate change.With a staff of some thirty research scientists and students, the CRU has contributed to the development of a number of the data sets widely used in climate research, including one of the global temperature records used to monitor the state of the climate system, as well as statistical software packages and climate models.

UEA Broad is an area of open water commonly known as a Broad. It gets its name from the University of East Anglia that it neighbours. The UEA Broad is one of the few Broads produced by gravel extraction rather than peat digging; there is still machinery under the water. It was developed by Atlas Aggregates in conjunction with the university between August 1973 and June 1978. It has an area of 7.8 hectares (19 acres), with sides that slope very steeply down to a maximum depth of 6 metres (20 ft), which constrains it as a wildlife habitat.The southern side borders a Site of Special Scientific Interest where it meets the Yare. The Broad is particularly well known for its bird life with great crested grebes being a common sight; other birds include kingfishers, herons, swans, sedge warblers and cuckoos. While in the past the lake was used for windsurfing by university students, health and safety concerns have put an end to this practice. The Broad is well stocked with carp and commonly used for fishing with platforms positioned at regular intervals round the edge. The length of the lake on the northern side also plays host to several barbeque stands available for use by students and staff of the university. The favoured one lies next to a sandy area of the shoreline often known as “The Beach”, where seagulls and ducks often congregate to be fed.

In the 1970s the line was extended to 955 feet (291 m). In 2004 a second ground level line, of mixed 5 in (127 mm) and 7+1⁄4 in (184 mm) gauge, was constructed, and there is now over 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) of track on the site.

Cringleford is a parish and village in Norfolk, England on the banks of the River Yare on the outskirts of Norwich. The village is in the South Norfolk local government district and is part of the Norfolk South Parliamentary constituency. Cringleford forms part the wider Norwich Built-up area. A village existed here at least as early as Saxon times and there is evidence of human settlement in the area from Roman times and the Bronze Age.The place-name 'Cringleford' is first attested in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for 1043 or 1044, where it appears as Cringelforth. In the Domesday Book of 1086 it appears as Kringelforda. The name means 'ford by the round hill'. The first element may be Scandinavian, as Old Norse kringla means 'a circle'.The size of the village is 4.04 square kilometres (1.56 sq mi) and the population of the village (including Intwood) at the time of the 2011 UK census was 2963. The population is likely to increase as a result of the current process of suburbanisation, with new housing development and improved transport links such as the Norwich South Bypass.

The National Collection of Yeast Cultures (NCYC) is a yeast culture collection, established in 1951, and working under the Budapest Treaty for the storage of over 4,000 yeast cultures. Located at the Institute of Food Research in Norwich, England, since 1980. NCYC is part funded by the UK government but provides a commercial service to identify, store and supply yeast cultures. As well as the traditional baking and brewing yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, this culture collection also contains hundreds of non-pathogenic yeast species. The yeasts are kept frozen under liquid nitrogen or freeze-dried in glass ampoules. To ensure the collection's safety, it is also duplicated and stored off site. Yeasts have been stored and revived successfully decades later.
