GIS, or Geographic Information Systems, play a crucial role in nature conservation. Every day, mapping and spatial analysis are aiding conservation decisions, protected areas designation, habitat management on reserves and monitoring of wildlife populations, to name but a few examples. Want to learn more about how remote sensing is used in conservation? Check out the first two episodes of this season of Tech Tutors, where our Tutors answer the questions How do I use open source remote sensing data to monitor fishing? and How do I access and visualise open source remote sensing data in Google Earth Engine?
You can also check out our Virtual Meetup Archive for a range of panels that overlap with Remote Sensing & GIS topics.

Hello Nandini. I did something similar mapping carbon stocks of subsurface peat reserves in upland habitats in the UK. It was pretty basic though. Modelled the 3D volume of peat from uav, field survey, geostatistical analysis and 3D modelling techniques. They simply calculated the carbon stock through the volume present.
