Palmer’s Post

Have you been keeping up with the International Conference on Permafrost this week? We have! Especially because Palmer's Lead Permafrost Geomorphologist Robin McKillop is attending, where he is excited to present on a collaborative approach to workflow among first nations, territorial governments, and consultants for mapping geohazards in northern Canada! https://lnkd.in/efCkheET #ICOP2024 #permafrost #geomorphology

A drone photo is worth a thousand words! 📸 Palmer has been using drones for aerial photography and video to help bring efficiency and additional capabilities to our field programs, as well as a new perspective to reporting. Drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS), are a non-intrusive method of collecting landscape data. They are equipped with high-resolution cameras that can cover large areas and reduce the need for staff to traverse difficult or unsafe topography. The ‘birds-eye view’ can provide a greater perspective for features compared to a ground-level view. In this example, the drone has been used to photograph an area of potential spawning habitat adjacent to a homeowner looking to expand their cottage. Drones can offer additional capabilities and advantages such as thermal imaging, 3D mapping or photogrammetry and can be equipped with LiDAR or radio tracking sensors. We plan to continue to use drones as a powerful and informative tool!

Say hello to some of Palmer's geologists! This past April 7th we celebrated Geologist Day, where we recognized all the hard work our geologists do. From mineral exploration to terrain geohazards, our surficial geology team does it all in rain or shine! Give a wave to a geologist this week! 👋 #GeologistDay #geology #mineralexploration #terrain #geoscience

Have you always wanted to visit the tundra, travel in a float plane, and learn about drift prospecting? Well look no further! 🛩 We are excited to announce that Dave Sacco will be leading a short course and field trip in Yellowknife focused on Advances in Drift Prospecting for Kimberlite in Canada at the 12th International Kimberlite Conference. The conference runs from July 8th-12th and registration is OPEN! Sign up now for your spot! https://lnkd.in/ej_6ejbA
