Exegesis were contracted to establish whether aerial imagery from UAVs could be used to investigate the spatial and temporal extent of bait digging at selected sites in Wales.

We developed an online portal that formed a single point of access to data and associated metadata derived from research carried out between MRE industries and Bangor University.

Exegesis developed a new mapping system to display marine spatial data, consisting of a web interface for configuring the mapper and a modern and feature-rich web application for displaying maps.

Exegesis was contracted to establish vegetation monitoring at a saltmarsh coastal realignment site. This required the collection of high resolution aerial imagery, quadrat based vegetation survey, mapping in GIS and production of a detailed report.

Exegesis was contracted to redevelop GiGLs online data mapping portal. This involved a radical overhaul of both design and functionality.

We created a hedgerow map for the Gower based upon Ordnance Survey MasterMap and aerial photograph interpretation. The resulting dataset contained 22,370 features of which 17,013 were thought to be hedges.

Exegesis were contracted to undertake a review of Spartina anglica in England’s Natura 2000 Sites. This covered its impacts on designated features, effects on accretion and erosion, distribution and extent, and a review of control techniques. A protocol was developed to monitor S. anglica and help identify any negative impact.

This project involved the collation and evaluation of a suite of ecological datasets, the production of an indicative map of upland habitats, an investigation of upland field data collection options, and capturing all survey data to GIS.
 

The MESH project gathered large amounts of marine habitat data from a number of European partners. These were standardised to produce a unified seabed habitat map using the best data available for each area. We produced web mapping for this project using open source Mapserver software.
