Unmanned Aerial Systems

Small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS, a.k.a., "drones") have become widespread tools for many types of geological studies. For over 15 years, our research group has worked with close-range photogrammetry (ground-based and aerial) and aerials systems, starting with kites. I, as well as some others in my research group, maintain a FAA Part 107 sUAS certification.
