What do rare plants, septic system failures and algal blooms have in common? They can all be monitored by drones! Typical environmental monitoring methods can be labor-intensive, disruptive of the landscape, or hazardous to personnel. As drones become more commonly used across scientific disciplines, we can identify new applications of this technology. Join us to learn about cutting-edge research which uses drones to locate rare plants, detect leaking septic systems and perform targeted algal bloom sampling.
