		<description><![CDATA[sUAS news recently spoke with Dr Patrice Carbonneau a Durham University geographer who has surveyed the mini grand canyon that opened up in a field close to the university during flooding A brief resume of yourself and what drove your interest in sUAS I’m a fluvial geomorphologist focusing on the remote sensing of rivers. My main research interest is in fact aquatic habitat surveyed at large scales. I’ve been working for several years on using very high resolution image data (below 10cm on the ground per pixel) to measure river habitat properties like water depth and bed material grain size. My interest in sUAS is mainly data driven. I want continuous information on river systems at the largest possible scale. I do work with a aerial survey firm here in the UK (APEM ltd). They do great work but there are cases when you need imagery at a lower cost and with a quicker deployment. That’s where sUAS could fill a niche. How long have Durham University been using sUAS for research purposes. Our department bought a first SmartPlane 3 years ago. Initially, a colleague of mine (Prof Danny Donohugh) was interested in forestry applications which was the specific focus [...]]]></description>
