Research drone from University of Antwerp provides world first: “Seven sensors measure the effects of climate change”

The University of Antwerp has put into use a unique research drone on Saturday. The drone will fly the impact on the forest every day in order to gain more insight into the health of trees, the effects of climate change and the interaction between the plants and the environment. The copy cost around 500,000 euros. “The drone can even map the risk of a natural fire,” said Professor Ivan Janssens.
