UAV [aka ‘Drone’] Surveying At The UK’s Ordnance Survey [podcast]

https://thegeomob.com/podcast/episode-234 <-- GeoMob podcast link

https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/blog/how-surveying-is-taking-off-at-ordnance-survey <-- blog post on OS UAV use

H/T Doug Newcomb
[A general focus but very interesting and informative]
“James Morrison, head pilot and UAS ("Unmanned Aircraft System") lead at Ordnance Survey, discusses the use of drones in mapping and surveying. He shares examples of how drones were used to quickly assess landslips and update mapping in the Isle of Wight, as well as capture data for residential housing developments. James explains the different types of drones used by Ordnance Survey and their capabilities, including capturing imagery with centimeter-level accuracy…”

photo - OS used a fixed-wing drone to fly over the coal pile on an automated flight route. A series of images were taken with the drone at precise locations across the coal which were then fed into software that ‘stitched’ them into a 3D ‘digital twin’ of the coal pile, using a process called photogrammetry.

I don’t know Joe, but I came across Joe’s work in my role as a geologist (the world topobathy image), and I was impressed so I sought out more; I think you will be impressed as well… [not considered a specific endorsement though, just my personal opinion, you know the drill]…

Legendary Mapmaker Challenges The Internet With Ski Resort Guessing Game

https://www.powder.com/trending-news/mapmaker-challenges-internet <-- shared article

[I want to believe that this Coloradan gets free lifelong ski passes for every mountain he maps]
“Odds are, if you've used a ski resort map in North America, you've seen the work of James Niehues, a now-legendary mapmaker.
Periodically, Niehues shares one of his maps sans-marking online to see if skiers can guess which resort he depicted…”
