Although most volcanoes are dormant for a long time, often for centuries, a drone captured a stunning video of volcano eruption on Iceland’s Mount Fagradalsfj all for the first time in about 800 years. Large numbers of people traveled the 20 miles from Reykjavik, the capital, to witness the spectacular, sizzling view. It is not …
Thales is supporting Swiss-based weather data specialist, Meteomatics, in the development of reliable and accurate weather data. As a weather service provider, Meteomatics, is planning to use drones to capture meteorological data and thereby hopes to minimize risks, increase safety, and reduce operating costs. The plan is to use small rotary wing unmanned aerial vehicles …

Shocking aerial drone footage shows the extent of Australia’s east coast floods. One town is totally transformed by flooding, and houses have been submerged, and parts of cities are no longer accessible. In fact, the flooding has already resulted in over 18,000 people evacuating from their homes, with 30 locations regarded as natural disaster areas …

Drones give researchers new perspectives on the St. Lawrence River. They have provided scientists with a variety of new ways to map the river from above. The St. Lawrence River in Canada has long been an area for researchers and scientists to track the animals to learn more. Drones have now joined in on the …

Reforestation company, DroneSeed — a company that uses fleets of drones to reforest areas burned in wildfires — received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its drones to operate Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS), in October, 2020. This approval means the company can begin to reforest large areas over larger distances than …

Ecologists are looking to Australian-made drone technology to help in tracking endangered animals. The autonomous drones can reach areas easily and efficiently by marking the location of the animals without having to follow them. For more than 20 years, Dr. Debbie Saunders has been focusing her studies on endangered animals as she has specifically studied …

Drones are increasingly becoming a very useful and effective tool in wildfire meteorology, which is the attempt to better understand whether that leads to fire risk. Drones are gradually becoming an integral part of the fight against wildfires in the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, and Thailand. The United States is experiencing longer wildfire seasons. …

While we may have learned about our planet’s underwater habitats through the use of satellites, sensors and divers, such technologies merely scratch the surface of the ocean. Thankfully, over the last few decades, engineers have developed submersibles technology that are capable of meeting some of the challenges of the deep sea. Aerial drones have infiltrated …

Our love of plastic has led us to have ocean and river pollution, which has reached epidemic levels! Rivers are extremely important because what flows along the rivers eventually ends up in the oceans, now both ocean and river pollution worsen! Scientists are afraid that instead of the plastic waste making its way to landfills, …

The data researchers gathered through drones over four survey flights at a volcano in Santa Maria, Guatemala, made it possible to create 3D models of the volcano. Edgar Zorn, and his fellow researchers at German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), captured both visual and thermal data. This included a 3D topography and temperature model of …
