Use of Surface Motion Characteristics Determined by InSAR to Assess Peatland Condition (2019)
Journal Article
Alshammari, L., Boyd, D. S., Sowter, A., Marshall, C., Andersen, R., Gilbert, P., Marsh, S., & Large, D. J. (2020). Use of Surface Motion Characteristics Determined by InSAR to Assess Peatland Condition. Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 125(1), Article e2018JG004953. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018JG004953

Peatland surface motion is a key property of peatland that relates to condition. However, field‐based techniques to measure surface motion are not cost‐effective over large areas and long time periods. An alternative method that can quantify peatland...

Rapid population growth in South-East Asia has placed immense pressure upon lowland regions both to supply food and employment and space for residential, commercial and infrastructure development. This pressure has led to sites on tropical peatland p... Read More about Monitoring tropical peat related settlement using ISBAS InSAR, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

Long-term peatland condition assessment via surface motion monitoring using the ISBAS DInSAR technique over the Flow Country, Scotland (2018)
Journal Article

Long-term peatland condition assessment via surface motion monitoring using the ISBAS DInSAR technique over the Flow Country, Scotland. Remote Sensing, 10(7), Article 1103. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs10071103

Satellite Earth Observation (EO) is often used as a cost-effective method to report on the condition of remote and inaccessible peatland areas. Current EO techniques are primarily limited to reporting on the vegetation classes and properties of the i...
