Our research also deals
with quantifying carbon stocks and dynamics and biodiversity, with
particular focus on subtropical and tropical forests (including mangroves),
wooded savannas and temperate semi-natural habitats. IGES is also a Centre
of Excellence for eCognition.
Staff involved
Richard Lucas
Richard Lucas PhD has expertise in
integrating ground, airborne and spaceborne remote sensing data for
ecological studies and local to regional characterisation and monitoring of
ecosystems. He has been central to the design and development of a new map
of semi-natural habitats for Wales, demonstrating the use of ALOS PALSAR
data for regional mapping of forest biomass and growth stage in Queensland,
Australia, and using temporal spaceborne and airborne datasets for
understanding ecosystem dynamics in the tropics and subtropics.
Peter Bunting
Peter Bunting PhD has expertise in the
computation processing and analysis of ground, airborne and spaceborne
remote sensing data. In particular, his research focuses on the development
of new and innovative algorithms for the use of multi/hyperspectral and
LiDAR data for understanding ecosystem dynamics and terrestrial vegetation.
Outputs of his research have included the development of the open source
software project ‘The Remote Sensing and GIS software Library’ (RSGISLib;
http://www.rsgislib.org).
