Work package no 11: Remote Sensing - environmental mapping

Remote sensing will be carried out at up to four sites using an aircraft-mounted multi-spectral imaging system with a 4 metre pixel size, and will cover an area of about 140 square kilometres. These data will be used to input into a GIS system and in conjunction with ground observations, will be used as an aid to interpreting and predicting the effects of land-use change. Ground measurements and some ground mapping will also be undertaken as a ground truthing exercise and to provide greater definition where this is required.
