USING FIXED-WING UAV FOR DETECTING AND MAPPING THE DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE OF PENGUINS ON THE SOUTH SHETLANDS ISLANDS, ANTARCTICA

Using Fixed-Wing UAV for Detecting and Mapping the Distribution and Abundance of Penguins on the South Shetlands Islands, Antarctica

Antarctic marine ecosystems undergo enormous changes, presumably due to climate change and fishery.Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have an unprecedented potential 3D MASK for measuring these changes by mapping indicator species such as penguins even in remote areas.We used a battery-powered fixed-wing UAV to survey colonies along a 30-km stretch of

Measurement report: Long-range transport patterns into the tropical northwest Pacific during the CAMP2Ex aircraft campaign: chemical composition, size distributions, and the impact of convection

The tropical Northwest Pacific (TNWP) is a receptor for pollution sources throughout Asia and is highly susceptible to climate change, making it imperative to understand long-range transport in this complex aerosol-meteorological environment.Measurements from the NASA Cloud, Aerosol, and Monsoon Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP2Ex; 24 August

Sensitivity Analysis for Effect of Changes in Input Data on Hydrological Parameters and Water Balance Components in the Catchment Area of Hungarian Lowland

Extreme weather and climate changes are emerging more frequently in Central Europe, Hungary, and in the near future the increase in prolonged droughts, high-intensity precipitation events and the temporal variations of precipitation are expected, which may increase the magnitude of local water damages (OVF, 2016).As a result of climate change, thes
