Flying @UWaterloo last week with our @harrisaerial H6 and @RIEGL Ultra 120 put together by @PhoenixLiDAR with @GeogWaterloo #coop #student Campbell Bowser and #PhD student Brandon Giura when we ended up in the @WR_Record 😀
Impressed with inthehills.ca/2024/09/birds-… article about #drones / #uavs . A great introduction for those curious about some #uav applications. They even managed to squeak in a little about my work with #carbon & #trees @GeogWaterloo with @PhoenixLiDAR and @RIEGL equipment.

Very excited to continue working w Korotu to quantify #tree #carbon as a @WWFCanada @RBC @Microsoft Nature x Carbon Tech Finalist! Our @PhoenixLiDAR #drone / #uav & @MitacsCanada funded @GeogWaterloo #students are shown with other fantastic finalists. Thank you @WWFCanada!
WWF-Canada's Nature x Carbon Tech challenge set out to answer how can we make sure our efforts to sequester & store carbon in nature are effective. Now 3 tech creators are each receiving $100K to implement their innovative, cost-effective & community-friendly tech in the field.

We were so lucky to learn about drones and their uses from U of W Prof Derek Robinson (Sheppard Dad) and Masters student Brandon Giura. Thank you Derek and Brandon for giving our Flyers such a cool and amazing presentation! @wrdsb

It’s official - as of today, all Canada Student Loans and Canada Apprentice Loans are permanently interest-free, including ones being repaid right now.
We know the pandemic has been hard on students, and we'll be there for them for as long as it takes.
Weather forced us indoors for @UWaterloo #drone #course #Geography and #aviation 270, but we used the opportunity to break out all the gear! @LeicaGeosystems GS18 @DJIGlobal #inspire1 #matrice 600, @flir R60, and @PhoenixLiDAR w @RIEGL. Great questions & discussion!
