General description |
Overview of Challenge |
||||
|
5 |
What is the nature of the challenge? (What is not adequately addressed at present?) |
The re-vegetation of a development site is a good indicator of ecosystem recovery. As it occurs over long time periods, monitoring this remotely is an advantage to us. |
||||
|
6 |
Thematic information requirements |
3. Obtain detailed vegetation information, |

7 |
Nature of the challenge - What effect does this challenge have on operations? |
It is important, for both our reputation and obligation to the environment, that we do all we can to ensure that the impact our activity has on the environment is minimised. |
||||
|
8 |
What do you currently do to address this challenge?/ How is this challenge conventionally addressed? |
Out of date or poorly detailed basemaps are used. |
||||
|
9 |
What kind of solution do you envisage could address this challenge? |
Very high to medium resolution EO data to monitor changes of the environment.
|
||||
|
10 |
What is your view on the capability of technology to meet this need? – are you currently using EO tech? If not, why not? |
EO could be a useful complimentary technology |
