A recent article by EOS Earth & Space Science News describes how Puerto Rico’s mangrove forests sustained much more damage during Hurricane Maria than southern Florida’s mangrove forests did during Hurricane Irma.

The above animation compresses a day in Flagstaff into just 10 seconds! Headwall and the Northern Arizona University Department of Astronomy and Planetary Science hosted a Demo Day on campus Wednesday December 18, 2019 at Moonshot at NACET.
Watch a recording of the first webinar by the newly formed Center for Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Europe. Headwall and geo-konzept in Germany teamed to show how unmanned airborne vehicles carrying a hyperspectral & LiDAR payload can detect vegetation encroachment on infrastructure. This project was done in just a few days in order to deliver a talk at DJI AirWorks this year. Afterwards with more opportunity to analyze and visualize the data taken by Christoph Schimmer of geo-konzept during a flight over a DB Fahrwegdienste railway, more material was created by the author, Dr. Carson Roberts of Headwall. Watch the video [registration required] and see the questions and answers!
Headwall Mid-West Regional Sales Engineer Christopher Piper, Senior Application Scientist Will Rock, Ph.D., and Senior UAV Pilot Charles Kepler hosted a free flight demo and an exclusive presentation by Headwall at the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis.
Usually manned and unmanned aircraft don’t fly in close proximity for very good reason, but we were granted an exemption on Tuesday, April 9th 2019. As part of a joint Headwall and NEON (National Ecological Observatory Network, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and operated by Battelle) project, a Headwall drone and a DeHavilland DHC-6 Twin Otter, one of the NEON Airborne Observation Platforms (AOPs), where flown simultaneously in controlled airspace within a short drive of the University of Colorado – Boulder.
The Systems and Technologies for Remote Sensing Applications Through Unmanned Aerial Systems (STRATUS) workshop at the Rochester Institute of Technology is always fun yet educational, and a great opportunity for those of us in industry to meet with researchers and students.
As remote sensing evolves, users across all applications are discovering the value of adding LiDAR instruments to a hyperspectral payload. First, instruments of all types are getting smaller and lighter. Second, UAVs are more capable than ever in terms of carrying capacity and airborne stability. Finally, users across agriculture, minerals and mining, and environmental research can now collect a full suite of useful data at one time. With powerful GPS/IMU devices to tie the data streams together, a completely integrated hyperspectral-LiDAR airborne package is now the 'gold standard' for many remote sensing missions.
