Highlights
One of my favourite tools to work with in this environment is my kite aerial photography rig for taking low altitude air photos
It is ideal for windy coastal environments with low vegetation. It lets me get a birds-eye view of the system, which is in some ways a unique opportunity since the plants are so short
I draw much of my inspiration from the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo)/ Free & Open Source for Geospatial (FOSS4G) and Women in GIS communities
Summary
I became a geoscientist mainly because of the methods. It’s the methods that help me answer questions I’m interested in. One of my favourite tools to work with in this environment is my kite aerial photography rig for taking low altitude air photos. It is ideal for windy coastal environments with low vegetation. It lets me get a birds-eye view of the system, which is in some ways a unique opportunity since the plants are so short. I’ve always been interested in applications of aerial photography so the increased availability of low altitude and DIY imaging systems like drones is something I’ve been keeping up with. I’m curious to see how the regulations that are starting to develop around drone use will restrict access for researchers
