Mapping fire fuel load with a drone
The University of Adelaide's Unmanned Research Aircraft Facility (URAF) and South Australia's Department of Environment Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR) are collaborating on new research initiatives to explore various applications of conservation drones for managing South Australia's natural resources.
One ongoing project is to use drones to map and quantify fire load before and after prescribed burns.
