ADAS is a leading consultancy and research organisation to the land-based industries in the UK and overseas. Our services are backed by 10 national research centres and a state-of-the-art laboratory. Privatised through a management/employee buyout in 1997, ADAS has a turnover of £56 million and 1,300 staff. ADAS Aerial Photography manage one of the largest archives of vertical aerial photography of Great Britain, with material dating from 1959 to today. We also acquire and supply new aerial photography, specifically tailored to meet a client's individual requirements of scale, film type and timing. Photography from our archive can be purchased in a range of media. ADAS use aerial photography for ecological assessments, wildlife management, coastal management, flood mapping, land restoration and reclamation, crop identification and the detection and monitoring of crop diseases. Clients include central, regional and local government, utility companies, engineering consultants, research institutes, land owners, agents and developers. We use remotely sensed data including optical and radar satellite imagery and aerial photography for environmental monitoring and environmental impact assessment. ADAS have produced and updated maps of land-use to monitor the impact of the Environmentally Sensitive Areas, which cover over 1.6 million hectares of England and Wales. Our traditional knowledge base in rural land management and environmental sciences, and our ability to develop practical solutions for real problems, allow us to guide the development of remote sensing technologies and applications so that they are of genuine benefit to end-users. ADAS are involved in collaborative research developing the use of optical satellite imagery (TM) to identify arable crop types and assess their stage of growth. These data are essential inputs to mathematical models to predict the impact of nitrogen, phosphorus, sediment and pesticides on water quality. ADAS collaborate in European based research bringing remote sensing to farmers as a tool for precision agriculture. Hyper-spectral reflectance and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) are being developed to aid management decisions for cereals.
