Webinar Invitation Ecological Society of America, Office of Public Affairs Eyes in the Sky- Drone Use for Ecological Research Many researchers use drones in terrestrial and marine environments, giving scientists unprecedented access to areas previously difficult to reach. In August, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy announced new measures to accelerate the safe integration and innovative adoption of unmanned aircraft systems across the United States. These announcements most notably expand on the Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) "Small UAS" rule, announced in late June, providing national guidelines for operation of non-recreational unmanned aircraft under 55 pounds. Join ESA for a webinar presentation and hear first-hand from an FAA expert about how to implement the new rules for unmanned operating systems, commonly referred to as drones. There is no cost to attend. Webinar Eyes in the Sky: Drone Use for Ecological Research.
