Funded PhD opportunity: Landscape form, use and change: a dynamic Earth
About this project This research project will demonstrate practical use of drone-based remote sensing platforms and sensors to monitor, map, and model coastal saltmarsh. It will utilise and evaluate low-cost drone (UAV) platforms carrying miniaturised sensors to capture high-resolution multi-spectral and multi-temporal aerial imagery. This will allow mapping of saltmarsh vegetation...
