Episode description

With drones high on the list for Christmas gifts this year for both the young and old, what practical things are people using them for?

 

One innovative EPA-funded project has found a way to take a 2 litre water sample using a drone in order to help sampling become more efficient, a first for any research team in Europe.

 

Senior Lecturer & Researcher in Freshwater Ecology and Biology, Dr Heather Lally, from the Atlantic Technological University Galway, joins Cathal Somers on the latest Environment Edge podcast to explain in more detail.
