The study explores the utility of high spatial resolution, multispectral optical and SAR satellite data to map the habitat distribution and vertical expansion/contraction and stability of raised bogs. The site under study is Clara bog in Co. Offaly (Ireland), which is raised bog protected as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Natural Heritage Area (NHA). Methods to characterise habitat distribution include the investigation and classification of the multispectral optical data on its own and combined with SAR data. Supervised classification techniques will be explored using both hard and soft/fuzzy classifiers in attempting to classify raised bog species and habitats. Interferometric techniques, using a time series of C-band and L-band SAR images, will be used to determine the feasibility of identifying and quantifying centimetre level vertical displacements within the bog.
