Advanced Techniques for Vegetation Monitoring With Planetary Variables

Planet Pulse

Vegetation monitoring involves inspecting and measuring the growth of trees and other plants to understand ecosystem health. These products translate raw satellite observations into quantifiable metrics about biophysical properties such as soil moisture, land temperature, crop biomass, and forest carbon stocks.

Technology will boost real-time monitoring of remote peatlands

Envirotec Magazine

Researchers will develop new ways to monitor carbon emissions from vast swathes of peatland after winning almost half a million pounds to develop new sensors that can be used in remote areas. Peatlands store around one-third of the world’s soil carbon, playing a vital role in reducing carbon emissions and combatting climate change.

Farmland water “battery” storage and leak-detecting broadband cables among winners in Ofwat innovation competition

Envirotec Magazine

The initiative will work with farmers to create stores of water – both in soil “sponges” as well as lakes and ponds – that can be “re-charged” through wet weather, then drawn on through ever-more common dry seasons, to the benefit of either the farmers themselves, or local communities. A full list of the winners is included below.
