This presentation goes over a variety of environmental applications including vegetation assessments, forestry management, coastal management, terrain modelling, wildlife surveys, marine monitoring, river & flood assessments, wetland monitoring and climate change research. You will also learn about unmanned aerial systems (UAS/drones) and what platform is best for each application.

1. DRONES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
MONITORING & MANAGEMENT
PREPARED BY: RYAN CANT - CEO

2. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) or
drones, are being applied to more
environmental projects every year.
UAS are a cost effective tool which
provide on-demand aerial imagery.

3. Lets take a closer Look at how
EnviroDrone is using UAS to monitor
and protect our environment.
INTRODUCTION

• Mammal Health Assessments.
• Flock Counting
• Nest Counting & More

10. RIVER & FLOOD ASSESSMENTS
ANALYSIS
• River mapping & modeling
• Water-flow simulation
• Erosion monitoring
• Flood damage assessment
• Flood defense planning

11. WETLAND MONITORING
ANALYSIS
• Native & Invasive Specie I.D.
• Aquatic Vegetation counts
• Growth/coverage monitoring
• Plant health/stress analysis
• Biomass estimation & more

12. CLIMATE CHANGE RESEARCH
ANALYSIS
• Identification of glacial features
• Analysis of glacier dynamics
• River modeling
• Coastal erosion tracking

13. UAS: ROTARY-WING
Rotary-wing UAS are best
suited for inspections and
mapping smaller areas,
enabling operators to use
heavier custom payloads.

14. UAS: FIXED-WING
U
...While fixed-wing UAVs –
such as the EnviroDrone
Explorer – maps large areas in
a single autonomous flight.
