Sentinel Landscapes

Export citation

An innovative set of ‘sentinel landscapes’ — essentially a site or network of sites, geographically or issue-bounded, in which a broad range of biophysical, social, economic and political data are monitored, collected with consistent methods and interpreted over the long term to provide a common observation ground where reliable data from the biophysical and social sciences can be tracked in consort and over time.
