Project Abstract
Climate change is one of the driving factors in changing vegetation seasonality. The mapping and monitoring of vegetation seasonality on a broad scale can only be carried out with remote sensing technology. This research aims to develop a methodology based on satellite data to reveal the relationship between vegetation seasonality and climate in Ireland. This will then be used to look at changes in vegetation seasonality over the last decade. Potentially, this is a more robust technique than current ground based methods to observe patterns of climate change at a regional scale.
