Bog breathing over a single year observed by satellite over Cors Fochno. Characteristics such as amplitude, trend and timing are associated with peat condition and GHG emissions. Blue is up, red is down. #peat #peattwitter #peatlandsmatter

This was generated from Sentinel-1 satellite data using the new, improved APSIS InSAR algorithm which now gives much cleaner signals over peatlands.

We’re exhibiting at #PeatConf22 in Aberystwyth this week. Come and see us to discuss how we are accelerating private investment in peatland restoration.

New research showing how peat slide risk can be mapped using satellite radar in a collaboration with @motion_terra @ucddublin @tcddublin @UoNresearch @UHI_NH @UHI_Research @ERI_UHI
New #peatpaper for #peattwitter showing how peatland surface motion by #insar can be used to indicate peat slide risk at sites across Ireland up to 24 months prior to failure mires-and-peat.net/pages/vol…

🔥 HOT: New research by @Motion_Terra shows that peatland restoration for its carbon value has outpaced grouse shooting as an income stream for landowners. Check out our deep dive into what this means for the future of the uplands 👇 wildmoors.org.uk/peatland-re…

A new market analysis by @Motion_Terra has placed the economic value of Britain's high-carbon peatlands at over £470 million. By investing in peatland for carbon capture new landowners are fast creating an alternative to managing land for grouse shooting. inews.co.uk/news/uk-damaged-…

Myself and Prof. David Large from @UoNEngineering discuss the @motion_terra #InSAR capability to monitor #peatland condition from space. Our item starts 11.37 in. #peat #peatlandsmatter #peattwitter bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…
Almost missed this! An article in the print version of @TheScotsman from Christmas Eve on the use of @motion_terra #InSAR technology in the @bunloitrewild #naturalcapital report. #peatlandsmatter #peatlands #peat #peattwitter

Great to see @HPSterk talk about how @ERI_UHI @UoNEngineering @motion_terra @PeatlandACTION and @ForestryLS are developing @ESA_EO Sentinel-1 data to monitor and map peatland condition and restoration success in the @guardian theguardian.com/environment/…
