Developing a method to characterise UK peatland condition from radar to better constrain the UK greenhouse gas inventory

The UK's peatlands are a major store of carbon. This project will research and develop a new way to assess peatland condition using freely-available, weekly satellite radar data. In particular it will focus on the use of Synthetic Aperture Radar interferometry (InSAR), calibrated against data from peatland monitoring sites across the UK. Description: BEIS is looking for a contractor or contractors to develop a method to characterise UK peatland condition from radar to better constrain the UK greenhouse gas inventory. The purpose of the project is to determine whether data from satellite radar sensors can be used to monitor the condition of the UK's peatlands and use this monitoring info…
