Published purpose
SEM will hire a recent Biology graduate to test the effectiveness of Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPAS) in detecting raptor (Birds of prey) nests using airborne thermal imagery and high resolution optical zoom lenses. The candidate's background combined with the oversight of SEM's senior biologist will allow the project team to undertake a number of practical studies to test this approach. In order to determine the effectiveness of this approach, raptor nests must first be located to further test the thermal imaging detection capabilities. The approach will be validated over a variety of weather conditions.
