The Team
Our team brings together world-class expertise in remote sensing, earth observation, peatland ecology, botany, geospatial analysis, and artistic landscape visualisation. The team works closely with many external partners across multiple research initiatives including SmartBog, Terrain-AI, MINE, Agri-SOC, CarboSol, BOGLAND, and AUGER projects. This collaborative network includes specialists in SAR remote sensing, peatland research, carbon sequestration, and geospatial science. The interdisciplinary approach uniquely combines cutting-edge earth observation technology with ecological expertise and creative art photography to depict landscape degradation to broad audiences.
