[ESIP-all] AGU 2018 Fall Meeting - Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in Geosciences: Research and Development - Session ID #NH036

[Krassovski, Misha B.]

Dear Colleagues,

The 2018 Fall American Geophysical Union meeting will be held during 10-14 December 2018 in Washington, D.C.
We welcome to submit an abstract to the following session: Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in Geosciences: Research and Development.
This session is a part of Natural Hazards section.

Session ID #NH036

Session Description:
Originating mostly from military applications, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) use in geoscience research is continuing to expand, given their flexibility and usability. Even now advanced sensors are being miniaturized and developed specifically for use on a UAS. High precision observations can be used to track volcanic gases, map forest fires, measure river-ice breakup, monitor critical infrastructure, and measure vegetation health. The aim of this session is to bring together geosciences to present on the newest UAS, payloads, and research. We invite contributions including those in formal and applied science, system and sensor development and UAS integration into manned airspace as well as in developing new missions and ongoing campaigns to collect geoscience data. The session will bring together leading experts in all aspects of UAS planning, regulations, operations, data collection, processing, and analysis to initiate discussions and share experiences for fostering cross-disciplinary research and knowledge-transfer across the sciences.

Primary Convener:  Peter W. Webley, University of Alaska Fairbanks
Convener: Misha B. Krassovski, Oak Ridge National Laboratory; Sebastien Biraud, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Matthew M. Fladeland, NASA Ames Research Center; David C. Pieri, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Please distribute this request to your relevant networks, as appropriate.

 The deadline for all submissions is Wednesday, August 1st  23:59 EDT/03:59 +1 GMT.
