Our UAS research group is currently out in the field collecting a wide range of environmental data. Fieldwork isn’t only about flying drones – it also involves hands-on problem-solving from coding to practical implications, from soldering and repairing to inventing new circuits for measurements. After a long day outside, PhD candidate Antonio Castañeda continues work in the research unit, fine-tuning devices, while MSc student Anna Bischof is busy processing and checking her datasets, and Luisa Pflumm is analysing UAS imagery of active fires to derive fire intensity. Early next morning they will head back into the field with Dr. Mirjana Bevanda for further data collection. Results from the fire mapping will be shared soon.
