UAVs in Science and Glacier Research

Here is an actual practical example of using a UAV in a real scientific application - not just to get some cool pictures and video, but to construct a high-resolution DEM for a remote glacier in the Canadian Arctic.

• Outlander/CropCam UAV
• Inpho Software

Here's a nice review paper: UAVs as remote sensing platform in glaciology: Present applications and future prospects (Bhardwaj et al. 2016, Remote Sensing of Environment 175).
