Ship-based RPA operations for cetacean research in Antarctica: progress, opportunities and challenges. Frontiers in Marine Science Sec Marine Ecosystem Ecology, 2024 (Ref: 17156)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Data collection facilitated by remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) has proven to be revolutionary in many disciplines including for research in extreme environments. Here we assess current use and utility of small multirotor remotely piloted aircraft (RPAs)…

Drone images afford more detections of marine wildlife than real-time observers during simultaneous large-scale surveys PeerJ, 2023 (Ref: 17062)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

There are many advantages to transitioning from conducting marine wildlife surveys via human observers onboard light-aircraft, to capturing aerial imagery using drones. However, it is important to maintain the validity of long-term data series whilst transitioning from observer to imagery surveys.

Preliminary histological analysis of Trematomus bernacchii exposed to sewage effluent from Davis Station, East Antarctica Strategic Science in Antarctica Conference, Hobart, Australia, 24-26 June 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15559)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

During the 2009/2010 summer field season a comprehensive environmental impact assessment (EIA) of the sewage discharge at Davis Station, East Antarctica was conducted.
