This document discusses using earth observation techniques and data analytics to monitor peatland restoration efforts in the UK. Peatlands are currently a large source of greenhouse gases but restoration could make them a net sink. Satellite data on factors like land surface temperature, albedo and soil moisture could be analyzed to see if restored peatlands are functioning properly and improving over time. The results would be provided to users like conservation agencies to help target restoration efforts and assure they are effective in reducing emissions and improving peatland health. Expertise in data analysis, machine learning and platform development is needed to develop this automated monitoring system.
