Careers – New Jersey – Scientific Research
New Jersey’s scientific research landscape has warmly embraced drones as high-tech multipurpose tools across environmental, oceanographic, and engineering disciplines. At Rutgers, entomologists deploy hexacopter “skeetercopters” with waterproof floats to locate mosquito breeding sites in marshes, collect larvae, apply larvicide, and monitor larval populations—achieving precise, efficient control in habitats too dense or dangerous for crews. Meanwhile, the…

Drones are valuable tools for various scientific research projects, including ecological studies, geological surveys, and mapping. In Alaska, drones are indispensable tools for scientific research across a wide range of disciplines, including ecological studies, geological surveys, glaciology, and high-resolution mapping of remote or hazardous terrain. These research activities often require collecting precise data in areas that…

Kentucky universities and agencies are leveraging drones as powerful tools for cutting-edge scientific research across disciplines. At the University of Kentucky, a $910,000 USDA-funded project explores “Precision Livestock Management,” where cooperative drones herd and monitor cattle, collect physiological data, and estimate weight via 3D imaging—promising more efficient, welfare-focused ranching. UK’s participation in the CLOUD‑MAP initiative (backed…
