Scientific purpose: Study of peatlands in the uplands of the Peak District National Park.

Scientific objectives: To evaluate the ability of SPECIM images to distinguish between moorland restoration treatments and provide new knowledge on thresholds for estimating habitat condition for sparse vegetation growth on carbon-rich soils, building on work on hyperspectral remote sensing of bare peat.

Data arrived from ARSF via network transfer on 08/06/2010.

Scientific objectives:

1. explore the use of airborne remote sensing (hyperspectral imaging, thermal infrared measurement and LiDAR) for paramterising models of the urban surface energy balance
2. to determine the degree of agreement between the output of such models and traditional in situ energy balance measures (which provide excellent accuracy but poor or no spatial detail)
3. to assess the thermal anisotropy of the three dimensional urban surface structure as it relates to modelling urban energy balances and observing the urban radiation balance
4. use the same data to explore patterns of urban heat island intensity that directly impact human comfort/health
