Rog is a specialist interpreter of aerial imagery and Lidar data, who has worked with aerial photographs since the mid-1960s following an aircraft engineering apprenticeship at RAE in Farnborough. Rog and Chris established Air Photo Services in Cambridge in 1990 to provide heritage assessments from aerial photos under the then recently incepted PPG16 planning guidance, and provides detailed archaeological interpretation from aerial imagery, accurate mapping and reporting for commercial and research projects in the planning and environmental sectors under the present requirements of the NPPF. Rog has published extensively on all aspects of aerial archaeology, and is the Editor of the newsletter of the Aerial Archaeology Research Group. He has established extensive training courses and aerial archaeological projects throughout Europe, Armenia and the Baltic states, and provides bespoke tuition to our trainee aerial imagery analysts.
Past archaeological research projects resulting in major publications covered the Danebury environs and the East Anglian Fenland. In 1976, Rog wrote the first computer program to graphically transcribe information from aerial photographs for archaeologists and, since 1990, has been a beta tester for the specialist program, AirPhoto, written by Irwin Scollar. Rog’s additional research concentrates on theory and methods for the archaeological uses of aerial photographs and satellite images, including extensive publications in peer-reviewed books and specialist journals.
