Drone Earth Observation critical pillars in Earth observation sciences and applications

This webinar demonstrated through industry, government, not-for profit and university drone programs, how drone based Earth observation continues to grow and enable quantitative environmental monitoring.

We explored:

  • Drone activities in the national Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) focusing on standardised data collection and processing protocols to enable ecosystem monitoring.

  • Challenges and constraints to government use of drones for quantitative environmental monitoring.

  • Local scale soil and plant monitoring using drones to inform waterway flow management.

Hosted by Dr Renee Bartolo, Chief Remote Pilot, Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment.

Presenters:

  • Jason Barnetson - Queensland Department of Environment and Science

  • Prof Arko Lucieer - Deputy Head of School, Geography, Planning, and Spatial Sciences, University of Tasmania
