The Science Meets the Eye!' competition
was launched in 2007 as part of the Moors for the Future Partnership
2007 research conference.
A touring
art exhibition aims to bring alive for residents and visitors
the importance of high profile scientific research taking place
in the uplands of the Peak District National Park to help tackle
issues like climate change and flooding.
The winning entries have been produced
as postcards and a booklet.
We hope the stunning images will really make you take a fresh look
at the array of top scientific research that is taking place. Download
