Research and Education
We are committed to sharing information to make urban forests, green infrastructure, and woody plants thrive.
Analemma Resources preceded Arbor Drone, and performed applied research for urban green infrastructure. This section includes all research and education performed by both Arbor Drone and Analemma Resources.
Areas of study and practice include: remote sensing of the urban forest with Unmanned Aerial Systems, ameliorating the urban heat island, early detection of pests and disease in woody plant crops, mitigating the conflicts between trees and solar collectors, improving green infrastructure design, making policy for roadside design for trees, integrating green infrastructure and compact urban design, improving parking lot design, and more.
Here is how we strive to improve arboriculture, green infrastructure, and urban forestry:
