Drones in science: Rising beyond pretty pictures

GD Williams

Abstract

For the past two years, polar oceanographer Dr Guy Williams has been using drones in Antarctica and the Arctic to measure changes in sea ice."Sea ice is a sensitive indicator of change in both the atmosphere and ocean. By studying sea ice behaviour, we can better understand the underlying forces responsible in the climate," says Dr Williams of the University of Tasmania.
