Recycled glass could help fend off coastal erosion

Recycled glass could help fend off coastal erosion | Remotely Piloted Systems | Scoop.it
From www.sciencenews.org - September 12, 11:00 AM
Sand made from recycled glass can be mixed with sediment to make a medium for plants to grow in. That can help with coastal restoration projects.

William H's comment, September 17, 2:49 PM
I am always excited whenever people introduce new ways to tackle contemporary environmental issues that have evidence to back it up as a solution. I know that glass is not usually recycled nationally and so having a use for them like replenishing coasts would be a revolutionary outcome! Cool find Dustin!
Kailani Franklin's comment, September 18, 1:41 AM
This sounds likes such a great solution. I really hope it will be implemented.

Scare Tactics: UM Researchers Use Drones to Promote Human-Wildlife Coexistence | University of Montana

Scare Tactics: UM Researchers Use Drones to Promote Human-Wildlife Coexistence | University of Montana | Remotely Piloted Systems | Scoop.it
From www.umt.edu - September 23, 12:26 PM
UM researchers are experimenting with using an automated drone to haze wildlife away from high-traffic areas on campus.
William H's insight:
"Hazing – the use of nonlethal methods to dissuade animals from areas of high human activity – has long been a tool of wildlife managers. What is new, however, is the deployment of drones as the means for maintaining this harmony between people and animals."

I was unfamiliar of hazing as a means of preventing wildlife-human conflicts and I think it is ingenious to use drones for this means.

I guess I did not consider the fact that just because there is a government shutdown does not mean people stop going to the parks. That is insane that the frequency jumped from one drone sighting a week to five every day. I also think it is rather sketch that DJI used possibly illegally gained footage. Very questionable behavior.

Miami Is Testing a Self-Driving Police Car That Can Launch Drones

Miami Is Testing a Self-Driving Police Car That Can Launch Drones | Remotely Piloted Systems | Scoop.it
From www.thedrive.com - October 16, 1:32 PM
Meet the new surveillance state trooper!
Nicole Kouyoumdjian's insight:
I will not be meeting the new surveillance state trooper, thanks. I think we need to amend ACAB to AUACAB (all unmanned automated cops... you know the rest). "Designed as a force multiplier, the PUG combines advanced autonomy from Perrone Robotics with AI-driven analytics, real-time crime data, and a suite of sensors including 360-degree cameras, thermal imaging, license plate recognition, and drone launch capabilities." I think the language and branding around this new type of policing is concerning. Calling it a force multiplier and branding it as a new state trooper is weird and gives off the vibe the intention is not to bolster public trust but to reduce overhead costs and issue more tickets. But these are my feelings off the rip, I think I'd need to do some more readings outside of this biased blog post to understand how and why it'll be used within its jurisdiction.

This will probably have negative effects on the children. Tree canopy is needed to help regulate temperature. A combination of extreme heat, lack of trees to regulate temperature, and a lack of shade will increase the risk of heat exhaustion/hyperthermia.
