Notice Information

Notice Title

Mapping broad-scale grassland habitat types

Notice Description

"Expertise in remote sensing / earth observation essential. This project will explore how individual grassland habitat types (Acid, Calcareous and Neutral Grasslands and Improved Grassland) may be distinguished from each other using satellite imagery and how this can inform national-scale habitat mapping across England. This will use field collected habitat records and satellite imagery to explore differences in spectral signatures between the four broad grassland types, and how other environmental datasets or differences in seasonality may be used to distinguish these classes reliably. The contractor will be expected to produce a technical report documenting the statistical analysis undertaken, methodological steps, key findings, limitations and recommendations, shapefile of classified grassland types, workflow scripts - annotated reproducible analytical pathways of workflow undertaken." "Your response should be returned to the following email address by: Email: Anne.Stefaniak@naturalengland.org.uk Date: 17/11/2022 Time: 17:30 Ensure you state the reference number and 'Final Submission' in the subject field to make it clear that it is your response."
