AGU 2016. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in the Geosciences (NH021)
Dear
Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the session: "Unmanned Aerial
Systems (UAS) in
the Geosciences (NH021)“ at the 2016 Fall AGU meeting, San Francisco, 12-16 Dec, 2016.
We invite you to submit an abstract
to our session and the submission
deadline is 3 August 2016, 11:59 P.M. EDT.
The session description is:
Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are increasingly being used to
expand our ability
to observe Earth system processes and make
measurements not previously
possible. Example applications include tracking
volcanic gases to mapping the extent of forest fires and
from monitoring Earth systems
to measuring vegetation health with high spatial and
temporal resolution. The
different types of UAS available are growing rapidly
providing access to small
scale systems for short-term rapid response data collection
to larger UAS for
longer-term continuous monitoring. The aim of this session
is to bring together
the geoscience community to present on the newest science,
systems,
payloads, and research being performed. We invite
contributions from across the AGU focus groups including
those who develop and
deploy UAS's along with those researchers who use UAS data
in their research.
The session will instigate discussions between the AGU
focus-areas and lead to
increased cross-disciplinary research and science-transfer
across natural
hazard sciences.
Primary Convener:
Peter W. Webley (Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska
Fairbanks)
Co-conveners:
David C. Pieri (Earth Surface Science Group, Jet Propulsion
Laboratory)
Matthew M. Fladeland (Airborne Science Office, NASA Ames
Research Center)
Alexander
Braun (Dept. of Geological
Sciences and Geological Engineering, Queen's University)
We look forward to your submission to the session. We are working on putting together a journal special issue on this 2016 session and the corresponding 2015 UAS session and would welcome all those who present to submit a manuscript to the issue.
Yours,
Peter Webley
