Goubran (SCE), Trevor Pearce (SCE), Claire Samson (Earth Sciences), Paul V. Straznicky (M&amp;AE) and Anthony Whitehead (Information Technology).&nbsp; Professor Straznicky is the Principal Investigator. Sander Geophysics Limited, an Ottawa-based firm in the field of geophysical airborne surveys is the industry partner and the major project supporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research topics are autonomous operations, obstacle detection, magnetic signature control, low-cost composite structures, and geomagnetic data acquisition. The research project is closely connected to the current 4th-year UAV project in M&amp;AE and will use the prototype GeoSurv II system being developed by the undergraduate students. The grant has a total value of approximately $100,000 per year for three years. The results of the research will enable cost-effective natural resource surveys of Canadian landmass, especially in the North, thereby helping in efficient and environmentally responsible geological exploration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Pavel (Paul) V.","cu_people_last_name":"Straznicky","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[37],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-763","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","hentry","cu_people_type-professor-emeriti"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"Professor Emeritus","cu_people_degree":"Dipl.Ing.
