<b>Title:</b> Toward on-demand measurements of greenhouse gas
emissions using aerial robotic systems<br>
<br>
<b>Abstract:</b> 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.<br>
