Research output: Contribution to Journal › Article

Abstract

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has highlighted that Arctic regions are likely to to warm more rapidly than other regions over the course of the 21st Century. Changes over the last 100 years are very evident and include diminishing glacier extent. Do unmanned aerial vehicles have a role in monitoring these changes over time, and can they help us understand how environmental changes are manifested in the physical environment? Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are now well established as a mapping tool allowing geoscientists a revolutionary insight into our planet and the processes that shape it...
