Novel world-first concept that aims to capture the state and dynamics of Wales’s landscape

Past & Present LandscapesView all

From knowledge of the past, we can inform the future but we need the tools to capture how we have historically shaped the landscapes of today. Earth observation data from satellites and aircraft give us a unique insight and so we have worked to develop a series of globally-applicable tools that allow us to describe, map and monitor land covers, habitats and ecosystems.

Analysis Ready Data

Download and pre-process satellite sensor data to an analysis ready format

Environmental Descriptors

Obtaining from existing sources or algorithms for retrieving or classifying from Earth observation data

Mapping

Combining the environmental descriptors to generate maps of land cover according to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) Land Cover Classification System (LCCS).

Monitoring

Consistenty describe and quantify change based on impacts and pressures

Validation and calibration

Record environmental descriptors, land cover, habitats and change on the ground

Living Land Management Wales

Living Land Management Wales is a Monmouthshire-based project that is using satellite mapping, socio-economic and environmental data, and computer modelling to address the fundamental question ‘How should we use our land now and into the future?’.
