Satellite technology used to monitor how bogs breathe

Studying how bogs ‘breathe’ could help monitor efforts to restore peatlands (West Arkengarthdale Moor/PA) Using satellite technology to study how bogs “breathe” could help build a better picture of the condition of Scotland’s peatland, experts have said. New research, published on International Bog Day, demonstrated the potential of measuring bog “breathing” – or peatland surface motions – to monitor the condition of sites, and possibly even carbon emissions from them. The research is a collaboration between NatureScot – which was previously known as Scottish Natural Heritage – the University of the Highlands and Islands, the University of Nottingham, and Forestry and Land Scotland.

Brian Wilson: Scotland s quango-go-round is a rotten burgh that rewards mediocrity

Of all Scotland’s rotten burghs, none merits greater scrutiny than the quango system – a shameless closed shop of court favourites whose essential qualification for any position that happens to be going is a record of silent compliance in the previous ones. Our arms-length public bodies used to be essential pillars of Scottish democracy. They were led by big people who did not fear to speak out in order to challenge any government of the day. This was particularly true of our two great development agencies – HIDB later HIE and SDA later Scottish Enterprise. The chairs of these organisations were household names who had forged reputations in other aspects of Scottish life – such as Bob Grieve, Ken Alexander, Jim Hunter in the Highlands; Bill Gray, Donald MacKay, Ian Wood at the SDA. Big people, big organisations, big visions for the Scottish economy and these powerful agencies worked pretty well.
