Practical use of mini- and micro-Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for the Environmental Sciences
****Extended deadline: 11th August 2015 ****
I would like to draw your attention to a new NERC funded training initiative: "Practical use of mini- and micro-Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for the Environmental Sciences", to be hosted at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) in Oban 24th-28th August 2015. This 3.5-day course aims to cover the main aspects of legally an safely using UAVs for NERC orientated science in ways which maximize data collection and validity. We have designed this initiative to be as hands-on (and weatherproof) as possible and delegates will use small UAVs to perform indoor and outdoor 'missions' to demonstrate the processes and procedures required for successful UAV campaigns.
There are 12 places on the course, and priority will be given to post-graduate students and early career researchers with at least 50% NERC funding. Hostel accommodation, food and reasonable UK travel costs will be included. The application deadline is extended until 11th Aug 2015.
Feel free to contact me directly with any questions.
Kind regards,
Rick Thomas
