New Ecosystem Service Mapping Gateway
Posted: 20 May 2013 - 01:33 by Steve Cinderby

The 'Ecosystem Service Mapping Gateway', developed by the NERC Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (BESS) Directorate, with funding from Natural England, brings together information on the growing number of projects concerned with mapping ecosystem service delivery at the landscape level. It provides an interactive, searchable, map-based facility to explore the wealth of projects that are currently being conducted in this field.

Wessex BESS Lidar Data Collection for UK
Posted: 14 May 2013 - 02:07 by Steve Cinderby

Aerial flight over Wessex region to collect LIDAR and multispectral data! The last UK summer was so cloudy and grey that no data collection by the NERC ARSF team was possible. We're pleased for a sunny spring in 2013! This is the largest data collection that the NERC team have attempted- 72 flight lines.
