Satellite technology to build a better picture of peatland restoration in Scotland

Satellites track bog breathing to help monitor peatlands

Date Time Satellites track “bog breathing” to help monitor peatlands Using satellite technology to look at how bogs “breathe” could help build a better picture of peatland condition and restoration progress in Scotland. New research, published on International Bog Day (July 25 th), demonstrates the potential for measuring “bog breathing” – or peatland surface motion – to monitor restoration sites in future. A collaboration between the University of Nottingham, NatureScot, Forestry and Land Scotland, and University of the Highlands and Islands, the research uses Interferometric satellite radar (InSAR), which can map the movement of the ground’s surface – a technique developed with University of Nottingham spinout company Terra Motion Ltd.

How monitoring peatland breathing could help save the planet

Submitting. However, when dried out and sickly they do the opposite, releasing stored carbon into the atmosphere and driving global warming. New research suggests analysing how bogs ‘breathe’ from space could help identify depleted sites and guide restoration work. Picture: Lorne Gill/NatureScot New research suggests analysing how bogs ‘breathe’ from space could help identify depleted sites and guide restoration work. The way bogs move, or breathe, can be influenced by many factors, including rainfall, water level, what vegetation grows there, the lie of the land and how it is managed. Using satellites to measure this motion over time could help scientists assess the state of peatlands and the effectiveness of different repair techniques.
