Abstract: Detecting risk to infrastructure in the age of COVID and ESG
GRSG Conference 2020 Presentation Title: Detecting risk to infrastructure in the age of COVID and ESG Author: Owen Hawkins The impact of COVID-19 is driving the need to reduce cost and health and safety risks of site visits. ESG regulations are in parallel generating increased interest in the monitoring of risk and performance of assets. As such, the interest in [...]
Abstract: Engineering Geomorphological Remote Sensing: Tools for Reading the Ground
GRSG Conference 2020 Presentation Title: Engineering Geomorphological Remote Sensing: Tools for Reading the Ground Author: Andrew Hart As engineers involved in the design, construction and operation of infrastructure, we need to understand the ground conditions of our sites, as well as the surface processes acting upon them. The same is true when trying to assess the hazard and risk [...]
Abstract: High Resolution vs. Standard Resolution: How an increase in resolution using a field portable spectrometer affects quality of data
GRSG Conference 2020 Presentation Title: High Resolution vs. Standard Resolution: How an increase in resolution using a field portable spectrometer affects quality of data Author: Lori Shelton Pieniazek Standard resolution of a field portable spectrometer at 3nm (UV), 8nm (VIS) and 6nm(NIR) has been used successfully in the geological remote sensing and mining industry for a variety of applications. [...]
Abstract: Understanding fault-controlled geothermal reservoirs and their tectonic history based on remote structural mapping
GRSG Conference 2020 Presentation Title: Understanding fault-controlled geothermal reservoirs and their tectonic history based on remote structural mapping Author: Christopher Yeomans Remote geological mapping has been a common reconnaissance tool for well over a century; however, with international disruption due to the coronavirus pandemic, remote mapping has now become a necessity and is central to many projects. Geothermal energy [...]
Abstract: High spatial resolution hyperspectral mineral mapping over Cuprite, Nevada and Hope, British Columbia with Unmanned Aerial Systems
GRSG Conference 2020 Presentation Title: Radar backscatter analysis of the Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō Crater, Kīlauea during the 2011 – 2013 eruptions Author: Edna W. Dualeh Radar backscatter has significant advantages for near real-time monitoring and understanding ongoing volcanic eruptions, as it does not depend on cloud-free days or solar radiation and can aid in monitoring of remote volcanoes. However, radar backscatter [...]
