UAS4ENVIRO.2018 Project 1: Črno jezero na Pohorje – Blake lake

n Beautiful lake at
the remote
location on the
Pohorje mountains
n Disappears?
n How to control
Aquatic
Vegetation?
n Wetland
n Unreachable by
foot
n How to get boat to
the hills (no roads)
n We need bird eye
view! 3

Our first visit!*

*My advice to the

student last week:

Your presentation
shouldn't be just
slideshow of
photos!!

UAS4ENVIRO.2018 Conlusions

Conclusions

nUse of UAS is still attracting students

nBird eye view can benefit in many ways
nSfM tools are more and more accurate and affordable
nProsumer UAS are easy to use and better and better
nStudent projects are one of the best ways to learn
