Scene Investigation from the Sky: Current and Future Uses of Unoccupied Aerial Systems in Forensic Investigations

WIREs Forensic Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
Police drone technology could be utilized to support forensic scene investigations. If the challenges of implementing new technologies can be overcome, drones could improve operational efficiency, interpretation issues and add investigative value in the courtroom. ABSTRACT Unoccupied aerial systems (UAS; otherwise known as Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAV)

Evaluating Satellite Monitoring of Vegetation Health With Fauna Habitat Managers in Mind

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In Australia, pastoralists, not‐for‐profit, and government organisations are managing stands of open woodland to conserve threatened species' habitats. These land areas are usually larger than a cropping field but smaller than many National Parks in Australia.

Morphological instability in restored intertidal flats: How anthropogenic structures drive early‐stage evolution

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
The study focusses on the morphological evolution of worldwide restored intertidal flats. These intertidal flats initially experience high sedimentation rates after the opening of the connection with open waters. The anthropogenic structures cause high morphological instability and are eroded, leading to a self‐cannibalisation of the system.

Effectiveness of optical, digital, and hybrid zoom equipped drones for use in reading livestock ear tags for individual animal identification

Drone Systems and Applications
Predicting how advertised zoom capabilities of commercially available drones being deployed for animal management will perform can be difficult, as promotional and marketing materials supplied by the manufacturer do not necessarily reflect real-world ...

Comparison of drone and ground surveys for the detection of a rare plant in a fragile ecosystem

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
We compared the accuracy, time, and financial costs of drone and ground surveys for the detection of wood lilies (Lilium philadelphicum) in an endangered alvar ecosystem. We found that the drone surveys detected 73%–78% of the plants found in the ground surveys, but that this type of survey was more expensive and time consuming than the ground survey ...

Human Factors, Competencies, and System Interaction in Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems

Aerospace
Research into Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPASs) has expanded rapidly, yet the competencies, knowledge, skills, and other attributes (KSaOs) required of RPAS pilots remain comparatively underexamined.

Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS): a fast and accurate way for monitoring landfills

Revista de Geociências do Nordeste
Sanitary landfills are one of the main alternatives for solid waste disposal in Brazil. However, many of them have turned into open dumps due to operational inefficiencies, highlighting the need for effective monitoring. This study evaluated the applicability of orthomosaic and digital surface model obtained via remotely piloted aircraft system for the

Digital Spatial Technologies to Compose the Map of the Southeast Iberia Megalithic Phenomenon. The Case Study of Fonelas (Granada, Spain)

Archaeological Prospection, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 257-273, January/March 2026.
ABSTRACT Megalithic landscapes in Southeast Iberia remain unevenly and insufficiently documented, particularly in rugged areas where traditional survey methods are limited. This paper addresses this gap by applying a multiscalar approach to the megalithic necropolises of the Fardes River (Granada, Spain), with the objective of detecting, documenting ...
