Recent research monitoring earthwork Heritage Monuments

Speaker: Helen Malbon

Helen Malbon will discuss her research focused on aerial imagery derived from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the conservation, documentation and monitoring of earthwork heritage monuments. Four sites in the Peak District were chosen: Arbor Low, Gib Hill, Bull Ring and Pilsbury Castle. The first stage of the research was to gain insight into the use of 3D imaging and GIS Analysis tools to determine the volume and visualise areas of damage at the contemporary sites through the creation of Digital Elevation Models.
