*Title:* Toward on-demand measurements of greenhouse gas emissions using
aerial robotic systems

*Abstract:* New near real-time measurement methods are needed to detect,
localize, and quantify emission sources of methane in rural and urban
environments. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas produced by natural and
anthropogenic processes, is an important target for mitigating climate
change. Effectively reducing methane emissions produced by anthropogenic
activity (e.g., oil and gas extraction, waste management, dairy farm
operations, etc.) requires reliable attribution of methane emissions to
sources. However, most conventional sensors, even those mounted on tall
towers, do not reach beyond tens of meters above ground level when the
daytime boundary layer is on the order of hundreds of meters and are often
difficult and time-consuming to deploy. This talk presents the development
and deployment of aerial robotic systems for localizing, identifying, and
quantifying methane emissions from dairy farms located in the San Joaquin
Valley of California, an imperative for effectively mitigating climate
change.
