Environmental monitoring plays a central role for the management of natural and agricultural systems. On this context, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are radically evolving offering an extraordinary opportunity to bridge the existing gap between field observations and traditional air - and space - borne remote sensing. A network of scientists is currently cooperating within the framework of a COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action named “Harmonious”. Our intention is to promote monitoring strategies, establish harmonized monitoring practices, and transfer most recent advances on UAS methodologies to others within a global network.

🚀 Exciting news! Our friend Steffen Dörig has recently published a free manual titled "Drones in Biomonitoring" 📚 - Read it here: https://lnkd.in/daFGM-jU. The manual is a valuable resource designed to assist authorities, landscape conservation and maintenance teams, nature conservation associations, and others involved in environmental protection. It offers practical guidance on how to effectively and cost-efficiently manage growing monitoring tasks using drones. 🛸 By integrating drones into monitoring efforts, we can significantly boost effectiveness, reduce costs, and minimize disturbances to natural habitats. Check out the publication and discover how technology can transform conservation efforts - Learn more: https://lnkd.in/drRpm2E4.
As part of the Erasmus+ program, the University of Naples Federico II (UNINA), Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), FACHHOCHSCHULE KÄRNTEN (CUAS), University of Debrecen (UD), Universitatea Politehnica din Timişoara (PUT), University of Twente (UT), Harokopio University of Athens (HU), and Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) are organizing a Blended Intensive Programme at the University of Naples from October 16, 2024, to July 23, 2024. The initiative aims to promote innovative monitoring strategies, leveraging the international experience gained from the HARMONIOUS project (https://lnkd.in/dXuKRUnK). This proposal serves as a natural extension of the training activities undertaken within COST Action - HARMONIOUS, intending to establish harmonized monitoring practices and disseminate the latest advancements in Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) methodologies. The program will foster stronger institutional ties between the participating universities, with the goal of creating an innovative framework for using RPAS to monitor vegetation dynamics, river systems, and soil processes with unprecedented spatio-temporal resolutions. The objective is to develop a course that provides participants with guidelines, technical support, and practical experience to enhance their knowledge both theoretically and practically. Additionally, students will gain hands-on field experience through practical exercises, enabling the immediate application of the proposed techniques and methods to real-world case studies.
Our paper "On the Use of Unmanned Aerial Systems for Environmental Monitoring" (https://lnkd.in/d2QEBvyb) is second most cited paper between 1999-2023 according to the recent review by Alonso Pizarro et al. entitled "The Use of Unmanned Aerial Systems for River Monitoring: A Bibliometric Analysis Covering the Last 25 Years".
