Exploration tech drones geophysics & satellite mapping

How are drones, sensors, and satellite images changing how we explore? What are your setups, findings, and tips for putting it all together?

Drones give you high-res, flexible coverage, while satellites offer broad area monitoring over time. My senior colleague usually pairs a multispectral drone with open source GIS software to spot anomalies and track changes. My key tips for you will be to plan your flight paths carefully, calibrate sensors, and always cross check drone data with satellite imagery to catch what one might miss

Also, drones with thermal imaging are great for spotting hidden moisture and heat. This is super useful for catching issues early on. Plus, when you sync sensor data with GPS logs, sorting things out later is way easier, and your location data gets much better.
