Current Projects

  • Nature for Climate Change Peatland Grant Scheme – Mapping peat extent across the Southwest.  Understanding and quantifying the effects of restoration on carbon fluxes both aqueous and gaseous.
  • Net Zero Plus - Quantifying carbon storage (above/below ground, woody and soil) and fluxes (soil respiration and net ecosystem exchange) in a variety of treescapes to understand the greenhouse gas removal potential of afforestation. https://netzeroplus.ac.uk/
  • MOD Mapping Project - Using high temporal and spatial resolution satellite data (Sentinel 1 & 2) to map habitats across the Army estate.
  • RePEAT - To assess how accurately the carbon stock of peatlands can be estimated by remotely sensed data, and to estimate peatland carbon stocks in representative Norwegian development project sites.

 

Previous Research

  • SWEEP 023 Woodlands to Moorlands - (2021-2022) Using emerging, high temporal and spatial resolution satellite data (Sentinel 2) to map habitat type and change across Dartmoor National Park. https://sweep.ac.uk/portfolios/habitat-mapping/
  • Upstream Thinking 3 - (2020-2021) Investigating potential sources of poor water quality in several drinking water catchments in the Southwest. 
  • Mires on the Moors – (2014 – 2020) Research to quantify and understand the greenhouse gas fluxes from the peatlands of southwest England and how they are altered by ecohydrological restoration. https://www.exeter.ac.uk/research/creww/research/casestudies/miresproject/
