Since the completion of the pre-commercial stage of CivTech6 in April 2023, Environment Systems has independently hosted and […]
Using remote sensing to understand how agricultural production has changed following the civil war in Libya that began in 2011 and the corresponding collapse of government agricultural subsidies in the region.
PeatSCOPE – Prioritising peatland restoration Peatlands occur in every climatic zone, and according to Xu et al. (2018), the total area globally is around 4.23 million km2, corresponding to 2.83% of the Earth’s land surface.

Afforestation – Tree Suitability Mapping
In 2019, the Committee for Climate Change (CCC) commissioned a study to investigate the application of spatial modelling to tree species and site selection in Wales to see if its ambition of planting 152,000 ha in Wales was feasible. We carried out the modelling.
The Woods for People project has been running since 2002. It relies on annual data collection by post and phone. We were recently commissioned to develop an online portal to enable woodland owners to manage their data themselves.
