A summary of surface motion remote sensing methods for the monitoring of peatland (2025)
Report
Mitchell, E., Fallaize, C., Dryden, I., Bradley, A. V., Large, D. J., Andersen, . R., & Marshall, C. (2025). A summary of surface motion remote sensing methods for the monitoring of peatland. NatureScot

The purpose of this report is to present a suite of methods and products for landscape scale assessment of peatland condition that can contribute to the sustainable management and restoration of peatland habitats. The outputs will also allow for the... Read More about A summary of surface motion remote sensing methods for the monitoring of peatland.

Analysis of an InSAR “bog breathing” based classification of peatland condition relative to field observations in Cairnsmore of Fleet National Nature Reserve (2025)
Report
Bradley, A. V., Mitchell, E., Dryden, I., Fallaize, C., Tariqul Islam, M., Large, D. J., Andersen, R., & Marshall, C. (2025). Analysis of an InSAR “bog breathing” based classification of peatland condition relative to field observations in Cairnsmore of Fleet National Nature Reserve. NatureScot

The purpose of this research is to:

1. Develop a field survey method that can be used to test the validity of maps of peatland condition that were created using satellite radar measures of peatland surface motion.

2. Test and refine a pre-exist... Read More about Analysis of an InSAR “bog breathing” based classification of peatland condition relative to field observations in Cairnsmore of Fleet National Nature Reserve.

Application of surface motion remote sensing to quantify the condition and trajectory of change of c.680,000 ha of peatland (2025)
Report
Large, D. J., Bradley, A. V., Mitchell, E., Fallaize, C., Dryden, I., Andersen, R., & Marshall, C. (2025). Application of surface motion remote sensing to quantify the condition and trajectory of change of c.680,000 ha of peatland. NatureScot

The purpose of this report is to demonstrate and evaluate the use of peatland surface motion, as measured by interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) over eight consecutive years, and to quantify and report peatland condition and trajectory o...

Object oriented data analysis of surface motion time series in peatland landscapes (2024)
Journal Article
Mitchell, E. G., Dryden, I. L., Fallaize, C. J., Andersen, R., Bradley, A. V., Large, D. J., & Sowter, A. (2025). Object oriented data analysis of surface motion time series in peatland landscapes. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series C, 74(2), 406-428. https://doi.org/10.1093/jrsssc/qlae060

Peatlands account for 10% of UK land area, 80% of which are degraded to some degree, emitting carbon at a similar magnitude to oil refineries or landfill sites. A lack of tools for rapid and reliable assessment of peatland condition has limited monit... Read More about Object oriented data analysis of surface motion time series in peatland landscapes.

A Bayesian micro-simulation to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of interventions for mastitis control during the dry period in UK dairy herds (2016)
Journal Article
Down, P., Bradley, A., Breen, J., Browne, W., Kypraios, T., & Green, M. (2016). A Bayesian micro-simulation to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of interventions for mastitis control during the dry period in UK dairy herds. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 133, 64-72. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2016.09.012

Importance of the dry period with respect to mastitis control is now well established although the precise interventions that reduce the risk of acquiring intramammary infections during this time are not clearly understood. There are very few interve... Read More about A Bayesian micro-simulation to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of interventions for mastitis control during the dry period in UK dairy herds.
