🌧️🌊 Wind, rain AND a sea-proof #drone? We had the perfect conditions a few weeks ago for a #DroneDemo in #Plymouth! As part of the #NERCTechForum, our team showcased how #WaterproofDrones could help transform #MarineObservations 🤖🚁 More below 👇

Hi! I just had a spotlight on me in our PML page. It was rather nice to put the nearly 10 years I spent at PML in perspective. If you are curious, have a look. I am sorry but there would be lots of photos of me 😃

Meet Aser Mata, an #EarthObservation scientist at the forefront of advancing PML’s use of #drones – taking our #EnvironmentalResearch to new heights. Aser tells us more about his research from the skies to work towards a better and more sustainable world: pml.ac.uk/news/staff-spotlig…

I am thrilled to see this report finally published. It’s been a privilege to contribute alongside such dedicated scientists across NERC in setting UAS goals for the coming years. I am proud to be part of this thriving community.

What next for #drones in #EnvironmentalScience? To support @UKRI_News's strategy to achieve #NetZero, @NERCscience commissioned UK environmental science centres (inc PML) to review use of #UncrewedAerialSystems in research. Report & info on new PML project:pml.ac.uk/news/taking-resear…

To support @UKRI_News’ #NetZero strategy by 2040, @NERCscience has commissioned UK centres to review the role of #UncrewedAerialSystems in low-carbon research. Visit our website for the full report: nceo.ac.uk/news-media/landsc… #Sustainability #Innovation #NetZero #UAS

To support our goal of achieving Net Zero by 2040, we have commissioned the UK’s environmental science centres to review the Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) landscape. Read our report here: ukri.org/news/landscape-revi…
A comprehensive roadmap Dr Iain Williams, NERC Director of Strategic Partnerships, said: I’m hugely grateful to all those who were involved in contributing to this report. It offers a valuable and comprehensive roadmap for advancing the use and capabilities of UAS to support new insights across the environmental sciences and doing so in a way to reduce the carbon emissions in field research. The report contains some important recommendations and fascinating case studies on the use of UAS in a wide range of environmental science applications. I’m looking forward to seeing the outputs from the two projects linked to this programme and how they may develop new approaches to environmental mapping.

The #Vis4Sea project is using sensors on drone footage of the Plym River at Mount Batten to measure #WaterQuality. Thanks to our scientists / 'drone crew' Aser Mata (@cursedquark) and William Jay (@_willjay) for flying the drone, and to Misael for access to the Corinthian area!

Our #seaweed #bluecarbon team was up in #Orkney last month. Generating key new data to build better #conservation for #kelp #carbon & #biodiversty. 🌊🙌 With support from @Bluemarinef & @TaliskerWhisky. Photo @mattjarvismedia

Fieldwork never truly ends! Managed to get out last week and bag some more intertidal #seagrass drone surveys. 🌱 Never get tired of seeing these amazing and intricate systems from above. – at Kingsbridge, England

Last week we were up in #Orkney mapping #kelp with our drone. The landscape there is simply amazing! This is a feasibility study between @HeriotWattUni, @PlymouthMarine and @Bluemarinef. Special thanks to @DrAnaQueiros for taking us there. Looking forward to seeing the data!

Team #kelp #bluecarbon is up in #Scotland for our @TaliskerWhisky @Bluemarinef @HeriotWattUni collab, assessing how to map #kelp at scale. Great work from our #drone pilots @cursedquark @_willjay. So exciting! 🙌🌊

As we draw to a close this year, we've updated some of our promotional materials, including a new poster that is currently placed outside our office at the University of Edinburgh. It highlights some of the fantastic global projects we've helped to support over the last two years

We've just wrapped up hosting the EU-H2020 funded @PORTWIMS Summer School Plymouth. The course provided an introduction to #RemoteSensing, including #Multispectral and #Hyperspectral sensors, using both #Satellites, and, as you can see in this footage, #Drones.

Yesterday, we were contributing to create more @DamesOfDrones flying solo as part of @portwims summer school here @PlymouthMarine. Cointidetially with the #WomeninDronesWednesday. It was great fun and I am looking forward to seeing more of her work.

It is a pity I could not make it to #LPS2022 but my friends at PML got my back and made sure my poster is there. @VMartinezPML and a few others will be somewhere around if you want to chat about HyperDrone or our research on the remote sensing of marine plastic debris.
