About the project...
Wheldrake Ings is a beautiful nature reserve just south of York, managed by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust (YWT). The nature reserve is an important SSSi flood plain meadow and the YWT introduced cattle grazing as a sustainable management method. To regulate the cattle's movements, a new technology that utilises cattle worn collars and virtual boundaries was introduced. The YWT approached students at York St John University to ask for GIS volunteers to analysis the data being captured by the GPS/GSM enabled collars. I volunteered and that was my introduction to the project. The project is ongoing but due to poor weather in 2023 & 2024 the YWT were unable to put the cattle out to graze. Hopefully 2025 will bring better weather conditions and some new data to analyse.

Wheldrake Ings - WMS feed web map with Time dimension
Data sources: OpenStreetMap
About:
This web map was created as part of an ongoing project for the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust for which I volunteer.
It shows the movement of the cattle herd as a time series. The data is managed through Geoserver and served to the page via wms and OpenLayers java scripts.
Skills and techniques:
Geoserver - wms
OpenLayers
HTML
Visual Studio Code
Linux Server admin
Apache Tomcat
Bash...lots and lots of bash -Sudo!
Wheldrake Ings - digitisation
Wheldrake Ings - digitisation
Data sources: OpenStreetMap
About:
This was created as part of an ongoing project for the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust for which I volunteer.
It shows the digitised multi-polygon NVC habitat classifications for Wheldrake Ings nature reserve. Included on the map is a table of the spatial analysis of the total area for each habitat type.
Skills and techniques:
Digitisation
Field calculations (area)
Wheldrake Ings - spatial-temporal analysis

Data sources: Open Street Map
About:
This is the visualisation of the spatial-temporal data collected from the NoFence collars. The events are overlaid on the NVC habitat classifications. The data and queries were processed using PostgreSQL.
This was also created as part of an ongoing project for the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust for which I volunteer.
Skills and techniques:
PostgreSQL / PostGIS
Clip
Filtering

Data sources: Open Street Map
About:
This is the same data being visualised as in the previous map but using the H3 density tool to aggregate the events. Again, the data and queries were processed using PostgreSQL.
This was also created as part of an ongoing project for the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust for which I volunteer.
