Unit for Landscape Modelling
The Unit for Landscape Modelling was formed in October 2000 to specialise in the application of GIS and Remote Sensing techniques in Landscape Ecology.
Its aim is to provide research, consultancy and specialist advisory services on all aspects of landscape monitoring, analysis and modelling to organisations involved in environmental research, planning and management
Its activities include:
Research into all aspects of Landscape Ecology, GIS and Remote Sensing
Operating a full aerial survey programme delivering high quality aerial photography, LiDAR and scanner imagery.
Supporting access to its Library of aerial photography to academic and public users
Teaching Landscape Ecology, GIS and Remote Sensing as part of the University's teaching programmes and via short courses to other interested organisations.
The Unit works closely with the Natural Environment Research Council's Airborne Remote Sensing Facility. This collaboration involves sharing aircraft and advanced remote sensing devices so that they can be deployed economicaly on behalf of the UK scientific community.
