Summary

The data is derived from Sentinel-1 radar data and the point data spacing is related to the spatial resolution of the imagery, ~20 m. The condition data displays one of 3 peatland condition classes (Good, Stiff, Degrading) based on the surface motion time series of the peatland. The change data shows where the peatland is undergoing positive or negative change based on the long-term trend in peatland surface motion. The main use of the data is to assess the impacts of peatland restoration, but it can also be used to assess impacts of development or to assist in the identification and prioritisation of potential peatland restoration areas.
