Geospatial Technologies Can Ride on Unmanned Maritime Systems
For years, professionals in a wide range of fields—from oceanography to hydrography to ocean mapping, to deep sea mining and many others—have depended on geospatial technologies to help gather and analyze various aspects of the makeup of the oceans. Advances in this field have been well-documented in the pages of xyHt
Saving Alcatraz (Digitally)
The infamous island is under attack by climate change, rising sea levels, and old age. Can scanning it from the sky and on the ground preserve it? When the first functional photogrammetry uncrewed aviation vehicles (UAVs) became mainstream technology around 2013, geodesists and land surveyors around the world adopted these flying wonders as an innovative...
