Abstract:Peatlands account for 10% of UK land area, 80% of which are degraded to some degree, emitting carbon at a similar magnitude to oil refineries or landfill sites. A lack of tools for rapid and reliable assessment of peatland condition has limited monitoring of vast areas of peatland and prevented targeting areas urgently needing action to halt further degradation. Measured using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), peatland surface motion is highly indicative of peatland condition, largely driven by… Show more
