Science for Alaska Lecture Series

This is a free all ages lecture.

Erupting volcanoes, burning wildfires, thrashing winds off the Northern Alaska coast: what do these things have in common? You don’t want to fly a plane into them. That’s where unmanned aircraft come in; we can send flying robots to get data in places where we don’t want to go. In this talk I will be discussing the science applications of unmanned aircraft in Alaska with a particular focus on emergency response and risk/disaster management.
