In 2023 many Canadian cities experienced their warmest December ever recorded and British Columbia's snowpack is on average 44% below normal, according to provincial data. Inspired by NASA's groundbreaking research, our latest video discusses how drone technology is transforming global drought monitoring. Discover how drones, like the DJI M350 equipped with the DJI L2 LiDAR sensor, are providing critical, high-resolution data that traditional methods cannot. In the video, we analyze the advantages of using drones for real-time, detailed environmental analysis—essential for addressing the increasing challenges of global warming and severe droughts. From agriculture to urban water management, see firsthand how these advanced tools are used to make a significant impact. After watching, don't forget to read our full blog post for a deeper exploration of the technology and its broad applications in drought management and beyond.

Dr. Peeranan Towashiraporn, Chief of Party for the SERVIR Southeast Asia, in his opening remarks at the five-day Inclusive Climate Action Workshop in Chiang Mai, #Thailand, explained how the program contributes to the region by using technology to advance knowledge and actions on climate change. "What can people in Southeast Asia do to help themselves when they are in these situations. There are many ways, but one of the ways that we are working on is to try to use information and technology to inform the public and decision makers of a situation, the severity and the extent of it, before or as it happens. Technology such as satellite information, drones, mapping technology, mobile applications, ground measurements, among others can be used to give us the information we need to act – before the floods, drought, fire, and air pollution have significant effects on us."

The Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance's ‘Solutions’ series shares practical and replicable local knowledge through our work across the world on how to build resilience to climate hazards. The last Solution from the Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance, before it became the Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance, explores how we have been working in collaboration with Imperial College London to test light detection and ranging (lidar) sensors in Nepal, Peru and Bolivia to improve flood #EarlyWarningSystems . So what makes lidar sensors so effective? - The measurement capability allows for continuous monitoring - They are easy to be installed and can be fitted to existing structures - They are low cost in comparison to high-tech monitors - The open-source nature of the sensors supports local maintenance - The software components can be scaled up conveniently and cost-effectively Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eizyW3kp You can also listen to the latest podcast which describes the use of lidar technology for river measurements in the Vilcanota watershed in Peru: https://lnkd.in/ezP2Ha9i

Neara sits in a unique position where we can ingest and visualize a variety of data sources to help create a more holistic view for grid resilience efforts. From vegetation management to severe weather events, utilizing the digital twin in Neara allows utilities to quickly understand the impact of events and where to deploy resources BEFORE disasters strike. #gridresilience #vegetationmanagement #gridreliability
Identifying the optimal grid hardening path can be a challenge. Southern California Edison (SCE) went from exclusively relying on manual field surveys and aerial imagery, to highly accurate heat maps that leverage LiDAR data and it was transformative. SCE’s Ritesh Kapur will sit down with Neara’s Robert Brook and Jon Leist of Deloitte at DISTRIBUTECH International next week to talk about this important undertaking in a state that’s faced severe and ongoing vegetation risks. It all takes place in Orlando, FL at the Orange County Convention Center from February 26-29. What topics do you want to make sure they cover? Comment below!

++ATTENTION!++ We are happy to announce some good news about our international project "CoLiBri" that has reached a new milestone! The Fraunhofer IPM has driven their technology forward and are now at a point to present it: two LiDAR systems will be used by Maanmittauslaitos, National Land Survey of Finland to survey maritime surfaces. + More information can be found below and in the official press release. 👇 + Find more information about "CoLiBri" here: https://lnkd.in/e7eBps2j. + Are you interested in the two systems? The Fraunhofer IPM will presents them here: Oceanology International (March 12-14, London, Excel, UK, Stand 500). #lidar #maritimesurfaces #sustainability #technology
Fraunhofer IPM cooperates with Maanmittauslaitos, National Land Survey of Finland to survey maritime surfaces! Maanmittauslaitos, National Land Survey of Finland will use two LiDAR systems developed by Fraunhofer IPM to survey maritime surfaces: ULi (Underwater LiDAR system) measures infrastructure under water; ABS (Airborne Bathymetric Laser Scanner) surveys the topography of coastal areas from the air. By combining the two systems, higher-quality geographical data and more efficient field measurements are possible. Maanmittauslaitos, National Land Survey of Finland, Leistungszentrum Nachhaltigkeit Freiburg and Fraunhofer IPM work together in a new research project to develop an integrated monitoring process for underwater infrastructure and coastal areas, by collaborative use of the ABS and ULi systems. Fraunhofer IPM will present the two systems at Oceanology International (March 12-14, London, Excel, UK, Stand 500). Come and visit!

Our 'Solutions' series shares practical and replicable local knowledge through our work across the world on how to build resilience to climate hazards. In the last of our Solutions as the Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance, before we became the Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance, we explore how Practical Action has been working in collaboration with Imperial College London to test light detection and ranging (lidar) sensors in Nepal, Peru and Bolivia to improve flood Early Warning Systems. Insights from the Flood Resilience Measurement for Communities (FRMC) process suggested that there was a gap in monitoring and warning in many contexts. As a result of this, Practical Action and the communities that it works with identified lidar sensors as an effective solution to building flood resilience. So what makes lidar sensors so effective? ✅ The measurement capability allows for continuous monitoring ✅ They are easy to install and can be fitted to existing structures ✅ They are low cost in comparison to high-tech monitors ✅ The open-source nature of the sensors supports local maintenance ✅ The software components can be scaled up conveniently and cost-effectively Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eizyW3kp You can also listen to our podcast episode which describes the use of lidar technology for river measurements in the Vilcanota watershed in Peru: https://lnkd.in/ezP2Ha9i

📢 📡 More news on the build of the Awarua uplink and ground control centre in Southland with the two satellite dishes now installed on their pedestals. These 11-metre antennae are part of the SouthPAN network of space-based and ground infrastructure being built across Australia and New Zealand and as far afield as Antarctica. SouthPAN is a major project with Geoscience Australia to improve GPS reliability, availability and accuracy. The network compares satellite data against precisely measured positions then broadcasts corrected data back to users. Pinpointing through SouthPAN will be up to 50 times more accurate – from 5-10m down to less than a metre and as little as 10cm in some cases. Think virtual fencing and drone spraying to improve farm productivity, safer aircraft landing in poor conditions, better habitat mapping, reliable autonomous transport and so much more!
