From characterizing floodplains and mapping invasive species to forest management, Carolina’s Drone Lab, or CARDNL, works with interdisciplinary teams to tackle emerging research questions.
Recently launched to provide a hub for innovative drone and sensing technologies at Carolina, CARDNL serves as a collaborative resource for faculty and student researchers to use for a host of research endeavors. CARDNL aims to be a continuously evolving resource for collaborators both in the Carolina community and beyond.
“CARDNL is Carolina’s technical and logistical hub for research, education, and service activities using — or considering using — UAVs as a tool,” said Mike Piehler, director of the UNC Institute for the Environment. “Even at its inception, CARDNL’s community of practice represents a broad swath of the University. I am excited to see the partnerships and innovation that result.”
