Want to read about how SfM, UAV and terrestrial laser scanning can infer links between plant traits and morphological response? Check the final paper of my PhD with @DrJulianLeyland published in @EGU_ESurf and the thread below for a short summary! 🌍#phd #uavs #geomorphology

Sometimes fieldwork can be tough, but some days it can be really rather glorious! Great day out testing the Otter in some decent river flows and enjoying some Autumn sunshine as well.
Last week we got out and about to demonstrate our Otter USV to the @EnvAgency, showcasing its ability to collect high quality data in a busy river channel. Want to know more? Get in touch to see how we could help you on your project. 🛶🌅

Out in the field last week doing some baseline surveys for a Beaver reintroduction project, shall make an interesting timeline of data in years to come!
Last week, we conducted ground & UAV surveys at the River Meon prior to beaver reintroductions at Meonside Farm aiming to boost biodiversity and strengthen the ecosystem! 🦫🌿 Looking for monitoring solutions for your own project? Talk to us! @SDNPA @BeaverTrust @unisouthampton

Tough few days running around fields to collect this data but really worth it, preliminary outputs taking their time to run but looking great!
Last week we teamed up with @DorsetWildlife for their restoration works at Lyscombe Farm🌿. We're providing 300+ hectares of baseline datasets from from UAV-based imagery and LiDAR to monitor the impact of their work. Stay tuned for updates! #Conservation #Restoration #UAV #LiDAR

Headline- Rainfall for the last 6 months has been the wettest on record (going back to 1871)! March alone received 142% of the long term average. The March Water Situation Report, full of hydrometric data, is now available to read here 👇 assets.publishing.service.go… @EnvAgencySE
