1 Spatial Modelling of the Terrestrial Environment - Georeferencial

Modelling the Impact of Traffic Emissions on the Urban Environment 241
sustainable outcomes, the whole concept of sustainability will not only lose credibility but
will also turn out to be counterproductive in terms of its own objectives.

The research described in this chapter was conducted as part of ‘Resolution E—Remote
Sensing of Land Use and Transport Interaction for the Environment’ and the authors would
like to express their gratitude to the British National Space Centre for their financial support.
Thanks are also made to Cambridgeshire County Council for their assistance in
Resolution E and to the many individuals who contributed to the project. The input of
Robin Fuller from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology is particularly acknowledged together
with the support of Jackie Hinton from BNSC and Professor Mike Barnsley from the
University of Swansea. The Environment Agency provided access to the airborne LiDAR
data and their assistance is gratefully acknowledged.
