About

EnviroSAR Ltd. is a University of Manchester start-up developed and incorporated in 2017 with the support of:

• Satellite Applications Catapult - winner of the 2016 Copernicus Masters Sustainable Living Challenge award.

Our Vision

• Quantify total UK burned area for national reporting
• Understand UK wildfire regime: where, when, how often
• Help prevention and suppression e.g. regular mapping of burn scars to identify areas of high risk for locating equipment
• Estimate damage to ecosystem services, especially water discolouration
• Target land management and monitor success: especially peat restoration (rewetting, reseeding, replanting etc.)
• Help model carbon budget; losses (burn scars) and gains (revegetation)
