Elevate Your Drone Mapping Skills

Unleash the Potential of Drones through Hands-On and Practical Learning

Are you fascinated by the world of drones? Eager to explore the endless possibilities of aerial surveys, drone mapping and geospatial analysis? Look no further! My Drone Mapping Methods course is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in this rapidly growing field.

What sets my training programs apart is my practical, hands-on approach to teaching. You won't just learn theoretical concepts; you'll experience the thrill of piloting drones by conducting real-world survey mapping exercises. As a renowned expert in the industry, I will guide you step-by-step along the way to ensure that you're equipped with the best practices for safe and efficient operations.

Throughout this course, you'll dive deep into the various applications of drone mapping for environmental management. From drone policy, assembly, and care of UAS components to planning drone operations, safety procedures, flight controls, and camera settings and operations, we'll cover all aspects of drone mapping!

But that's not all—this course goes way beyond drone mapping. As a scientist, I recognize the importance of data management and geospatial analysis in maximizing the potential of drone-acquired data for decision-making and management. You'll learn how to handle, store, and process data effectively, generating valuable outputs such as orthomosaics, elevation point clouds, and digital surface models. With my guidance, you'll harness the power of analytic dashboards and web-mapping tools to perform spatial analysis, create informative reports, and share information with ease.

Whether you're a professional seeking to enhance your skills or an enthusiast looking to turn your passion for drones into a career, my Drone Mapping for Environmental Monitoring Course is the perfect choice to get started. Let's unlock the possibilities of drone technology for your work today!

Student Insights

Drones Mapping for Environmental Management

“I highly recommend the Drone Mapping & Monitoring course. I had no prior experience with drones, background knowledge of mapping or even experience in flying. But after this intensive course, I can honestly say that I now have a skill set that I look forward to applying more in Anguilla. Dr. Kim has showed me that there are so many other applications we can now now use drone technologies for managing our environment!”

Instructor Bio

I’m a marine ecologist, GIS educator, and commercial drone pilot with over 20 years of experience in environmental mapping, monitoring and training across the Caribbean, California and beyond.

As the Founder and Director of Marine Spatial Information Solutions (MarSIS) Inc., I’ve built a career around one core mission: empowering people to use participatory approaches together with drones & geospatial tools to make data-driven, real-world impact.

Through my Training Academy, I’ve taught hundreds of individuals and organizations how to safely & professionally operate drones, conduct drone mapping missions, collect accurate environmental data and analyze and share their results for agriculture, fisheries, conservation and disaster management. My Participatory-UAS approach brings together science, technology and collaboration — ensuring that every learner, regardless of background, can build confidence and contribute to smarter environmental decision-making.

Whether you’re an individual seeking new skills or an organization building technical capacity, my goal is to make drone technology accessible, practical and transformative. Together, we can learn how to use technology tools to help us protect our planet and strengthen the communities that depend on it.
