Flinders University College of Science and Engineering researcher PhD candidate Claire Moore, drone operator Robert Keane and Geospatial Information Systems Associate Professor David Bruce – licensed CASA remotely piloted aircraft operator – conducting aerial research over St Marys in the City of Mitcham council area on 21 March 2022. Their work is part of the Green Adelaide campaign to monitor urban heat patterns and tree canopy coverage. The Flinders University drone surveying uses heat sensor and LiDAR technology to record which areas are creating cooler conditions with healthy tree cover - an important part of the council's future planning in the climate change crisis.
