Dr. Fenech was an inaugural member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group that shared in the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. Dr. Fenech has written policy speeches for Canadian Environment Ministers, represented Canada at international environmental meetings, and teaches regularly at universities across Canada and around the world. Presently, Dr. Fenech leads the UPEI Climate Research Lab where his graduate students use drone technology in their climate change research.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Clark, University of Calgary \u2013 Mr. Clark is a PhD student at the University of Calgary. Mr. Clark is the main programmer of the internationally-recognized sea-level rise visualization known as CLIVE (CoastaL Impacts Visualization Environment). CLIVE has won numerous awards including one from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Mr. Clark is the main pilot of the UPEI Climate Lab drones, and leads research in their application in the environmental sciences.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Nesbit, University of Calgary \u2013 Mr. Nesbit is a PhD student at the University of Calgary. Mr. Nesbit\u2019s research focuses on the application of UAVs and processing solutions. He holds a Masters of Science in Geographic Information Science and Geography\u00a0 from California State University-Long Beach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Instructors: Adam Fenech, University of Prince Edward Island Andrew Clark \u2013 University of Calgary Paul Nesbit \u2013 University of Calgary &nbsp; Description: How to purchase a UAV, the various models How to plan drone flights, and operation options Options &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/climate\/2018\/07\/23\/unmanned-aerial-vehicles-uav-in-research-information-session-23-24-july-2018\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2302"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2302"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2302\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2306,"href":"http:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2302\/revisions\/2306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/climate\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
