TL;DR: It is found that aerial strategies reduce uncertainties associated with ground-based remote sensing of SO2 flux and enable near–real-time measurements of plume chemistry and carbon isotope composition and the need to account for time averaging of temporal variability in volcanic gas emissions in global flux estimates is emphasized.

TL;DR: An RTTP based around a genetic algorithm optimisation running on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+, the first of its kind to be flown on-board a UAV, is presented, showing approximately equivalent efficiency characteristics to conventionally planned missions.

TL;DR: A detailed analysis of three BVLOS flights into the plume of Manam volcano is presented and a number of lessons learned are identified and appropriate recommendations to reduce risk in future flight operations are proposed.

TL;DR: This paper demonstrates the use of a PPA device—the SCAMP vision chip—combining perception and compute capabilities on the same device for aiding in real-time navigation and control of aerial robots.
