Inhalt:
The use of small unoccupied aerial systems (sUAS) for acquiring close-range remotely sensed data has substantially increased in the past 5 years. A primary focus of early research was on physical systems and photogrammetric techniques. However, as sUAS technology continues to improve and more sophisticated payloads are utilized, such as lidar and multispectral cameras, applications have expanded to nearly all subdisciplines within Geography. This edited volume is intended to showcase the various ways in which sUAS are used in geographic research, including geomorphology, environmental and hazard monitoring, biogeography, and urban and sociocultural geography.
Anmerkung:
Section 1 - sUAS Basics -- Introduction and outline for book - Konsoer, Leitner, Lewis -- Provide brief history of sUAS and the rapid technological advancements in recent years that have led to drone revolution and close range remote sensing -- Outline of book and intended uses as both a collection of specific research topics in geography and as a teaching tool -- Rules and Regulations for sUAS use in the United States (and/or globally, selected countries?) -- FAA regulations -- Essentials of proper and safe sUAS use -- sUAS Ethics and other considerations (privacy issues) -- Communicating Science with sUAS -- Section 2 - Applications in Human Geography -- Crime Geography (e.g., security, surveillance/monitoring, etc.) -- Sociocultural Geography (e.g., monitoring cultural resources) -- 3D Mapping -- Section 3 - Applications in Physical Geography -- Geomorphology -- Climatology -- Biogeography (e.g., precision agriculture, habitat monitoring, etc.) -- Section 4 - Applications in Interdisciplinary Research -- Environmental Geography (e.g., water quality, algae, land use changes) -- Mississippi River Delta Archaeological Mitigation (MRDAM) (e.g., geomorphology and archaeology - Konsoer et al) -- Disaster Science Management (e.g. search and rescue operations, damage assessment).
