  1. Earth Observation in Natural England A brief history and review David Askew – Science Unit Manager

  2. Remember this ?

  3. Rotational burning in the North Yorkshire Moors

  4. Trying to extract more – first forays into using satellite imagery Nitrogen response scores for haymeadows - mapping conservation value in upper Teesdale

  5. Coastal sites – dynamic environment and poor access CASI image, Tollesbury Essex – collaboration with Geomatics,EA

  6. Where are we now ? CASI image – habitats in the East Pennines – Cotton Grass dominated moor Continuation of Geomatics collaboration

  7. Detailed surveys for specific sites Topographic data for Hatfield Moors NNR – Lidar data. Restoring a peat extraction site.

  8. Using derived products - LCM2007 Mapping water supply services potential around Manchester

  9. Emergencies

  10. Whats next ? Habitats – extent and condition

  12. Its been done in Wales .....

  13. Can we map vegetation communities ? Bradter, U., Thom, T.J., Altringham, J.D., Kunin, W.E., Benton, T.G., 2011. Prediction of National Vegetation Classification communities in the British uplands using environmental data at multiple spatial scales, aerial images and the classifier random forest. Journal of Applied Ecology 2011, 48, 1057-1065.

  14. Condition of protected sites (SSSI’s) – key government target Extract from Arkle Meadows SSSI ‘Favourable condition table’ ...... Grass/herb ratio or NDVI value ?

  15. The current biggest area of interest ........

  16. Yorkshire Peat partnership – mapping eroding peat bog to target restoration
