Italian Research Council drones to study Arctic glaciers
(AGI) Rome, June 16 - Research drones of the Italian ResearchCouncil's Institute of Intelligent Systems for Automation(ISSIA-CNR) will take part in a scientific campaign due tobegin on Tuesday. Researchers aim to study the thermal exchangebetween the sea and the ice, obtaining new information andimages in order to more accurately understand and predictclimate changes. The sea fronts concerned are those of theKronebreen, Kongsbreen and Conwaybreen glaciers, in Norway'sSvalbard islands. Researchers will use robotic vehicles so asto avoid the risk of working too close to the three glaciers,from which large pieces of
