Conference dedicated to autonomous mapping of earth’s surface and subsurface

DENVER, CO, UNITED STATES, September 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- UAS Geoscience LLC, host of UAS Geoscience 2024, finalizes the technical program, demonstrations and training schedule for upcoming conference.

The mission of UAS Geoscience is to advance the use of autonomous collection and mapping of geophysical and remote sensing data to measure, define, and better understand the surface and subsurface of the earth. The conference will be held September 29 through October 2, 2024, in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It is co-hosted by the renowned Colorado State University Drone Center.

Discover the Future of Autonomous Mapping
UAS Geoscience 2024 brings together leading manufacturers of UAS and remote sensors, UAS pilots experienced in collecting geophysical and remote sensing data, policy advocates, geoscientists, hydrogeologists, geoengineers, environmental scientists and project managers to share news, knowledge, techniques and practices.

This conference will be a cornerstone event for earth scientists and engineers who want to understand advances and best practices in applying these technologies in agriculture, resource exploration, environmental engineering, civil engineering and infrastructure, and munitions response and landmines.

What Attendees Will Gain
Attendees will gain valuable insights and practical knowledge into how UAS and remote sensing are used to autonomously discover extractable earth resources, identify areas impacted by contamination, measure soil water content, obtain engineering properties of rock formations, locate legacy oil and gas wells and pipelines, and safely detect and delineate unexploded munitions. This conference is essential for anyone in geosciences and engineering looking to harness the power of UAS and remote sensing technology for autonomous mapping.
