There’s so much vagueposting, lies, AI slop, and old footage clogging the feeds that this site is basically unusable for actual breaking news.

“Something bad happened over Iran that’s being censored” (probably not)

“Tel Aviv took 50 missiles” (they didn’t)

Drone delivery is becoming an active part of transportation systems, but they can only go so far before running out of power. What happens when you need vaccines or snake anti-venom from a far distance?

Reseachers use drone to track ozone pollution in the state.
@mikeandersonKSL has the story.

Congratulations @SierraNYoung! Amazing work with more to come!

[Dr. Sierra Young @SierraNYoung]

Excited to share that I've received an @NSF CAREER award! My group will develop new methods for monitoring vegetation exposed to increasing dust levels using hyperspectral imagery. Thankful for my students, colleagues, & mentors who have supported me!

@USUAggies is recruiting graduate students at the @ASA_CSSA_SSSA conference! Stop by our booth at the exhibitor center, talk with us or take a flyer. I’m also at the conference, you want to talk.

Peak flow of the Logan River - and a drone - provided peak information about the floodplain that's helping cities

Happy to collaborate with KSL to tell the story of the Logan River and the spring flooding! We hope to help improve flood management and current flood models through our mapping efforts.

[AggieAir @AggieAirUSU]

Ian Gowing from our AggieAir team flew the Logan river to assess #flooding during those peak flows this spring. Models from the data will help with future events. Read the story here!

A great two week field work in progress sponsored by @almondboard that involves @AggieAirUSU @ucdavis @USDA_ARS and many more in California almond fields across Central Valley. Our work is related to large scale orchard mapping and atmospheric profiling to address advection in ET

[Anish Sapkota @aanishsapkota]

Flying @AeroSystemsWest to measure air temperature across vertical profile for the advection study. It’s also good to see @AggieAirUSU flying the fixed wing for the orchard mapping. @m__roby @nebambach @DrAlfonsoTorres

We're collecting air temperature measurements in vertical profile to assess advection effects over irrigated agriculture!

The AggieAir Service Center has moved south onto Madera, CA, to begin GreatBlue fixed wing flights over 450 acres of Almond orchard to assess water use.

[Cal Coopmans @fractalstabilty]

Go @AggieAirUSU!

[AggieAir @AggieAirUSU]

The AggieAir Service Center is in Woodland, CA, flying for the California Almond Board to capture imagery over almond orchards to assess water consumption.💧

[The Agricola Research Team - Utah State University @TheAgricolaTeam]

Our @RaymondGao7 successfully passed his PhD thesis defense! His work was related to evapotranspiration, transpiration and water stress in commercial vineyards using @AggieAirUSU UAV information along with physical and machine learning models. @USUAggies @USUWaterLab
