Monitoring and measuring (project 1.1)

Project 1.1 asks the question: "what have we got and what state is it in?"

The research aims to deliver new techniques and technologies for evaluating soil and site characteristics; for remotely sensing forest health, condition and carrying out stand inventory. This will be done in three sub­project areas:

  • 1.1.1 Site evaluation
  • 1.1.2 Monitoring of forest condition with multi-spectral and hyper-spectral remote-sensing
  • 1.1.3 Improved forest inventory using high resolution airborne remote sensing

The leader of Project 1.1 is Dr Neil Sims (Ensis).
