SU's Environmental Studies Colloquium Series Continues March 9

SALISBURY, MD---Unmanned aerial vehicles often evoke mental images of military actions; however, they also can be an inexpensive, safe alternative for environmental studies data collection.

Dr. Patrice Ludwig of James Madison University’s Biology Department discusses outcomes of a recent project that employed such tactics during the presentation “Can Drone Technology Solve Global Problems?”

Part of Salisbury University’s Environmental Studies Colloquium Series, her talk is 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 9, in Henson Science Hall Room 243.

Ludwig was a part of a program at James Madison that brought together four professors and students from seven majors to develop uses for drones that promoted scientific and humanitarian activities.

Sponsored by the SU Environmental Studies Department, admission to her talk is free and the public is invited. For more information call 410-543-6030 or visit the SU website at www.salisbury.edu.
