o Glaciers are large sheets of snow and ice that are found on land all year long and those move under their own gravity.
o Various causes to Glacier melting are:• Global Warming – Rise of Temperature.
• Dust and Debris Coverage.
• Movement of Tectonic Plates.
o Warmer temperatures cause glaciers to melt faster than they can accumulate new snow.
Glacier Melting

o If temperatures keep rising, glaciers will continue melting, and some could disappear completely.
o As glaciers and the giant ice sheets melts, they add more water into the river, which ultimately causes sea level to rise.
WHY DOES IT MATTERS?
04/11/20234
o UAVs are new photogrammetric measurement tool which are evolving as low-cost alternatives to the classical manned aerial photogrammetry and high cost Satellite Imagery.
o Thanks to GPS technology, these UAVs can be programmed to make very detailed flight patterns that can be flown automatically and in very extreme weather conditions. Also INS help fix the exterior parameter.

GROWING USE OF UAV

Rationale Field measurements are sparse or infrequent and subject to
disagreeable conditions or danger in many environments especially in case of such higher altitudes and other inaccessible areas.
Growing use of UAV for geospatial purpose Disaster Site Monitoring & Mapping Climate Monitoring Forestry Management & Forest Fire Operations Support Monitoring and the effects of poaching and habitat destruction. Perimeter Surveillance Traffic Accident Analysis Fire Scene Inspection (Pre / During / Post) and many more Protection of Archeological Site.

Real-time capability and the ability for fast and low cast data acquisition while transmitting the image, video
and orientation data in real time to the ground control station makes them
more popular.

Objectives The major objective of this project is to introduce the use of UAV in
Geospatial work in Nepal and measuring the spatial pattern of temperature was a topic of our interest
Sub –Objectives To understand the variation of temperature comparing the present
data with past ones This result can suggest us at what rate the climate change has
impact on temperature of some particular Glacier
To implement UAV as a data collecting instrument carrier for conducting mini projects

Methodologies
1.Instrumentation Purchase/Manage a UAV with appropriate battery ,payload to
carry sensors and camera and other good hardwares. Type and size of appropriate thermal sensors that can record
the surface temperature Calibration of Instruments.
2.Flight planning Distribution pattern of Ground Control Points (GCP) Size of photograph and the area to be photographed No of flight sessions Interval between the exposure Ground sampling distance (GSD) and scale of Map

3.Field works Conducting the flight over the area Recording the temperature from the ground stations as
well This data can be compared later with the information obtained
from UAV during work validation
4.Data Processing and Documentation Obtain past data from concerned authorities and study the
pattern To validate the data collected using UAV with the information
given by ground stations

Cost estimation
Purchase instruments like
UAV platform that can fly with a sensor load range of 500gms to 1000gms
Flight Control System: GPS + INS ( Inertial Navigation System) for
accurate positioning of Camera center for image calibration/ georeferencing
Camera mount: With automatic tilting system so that camera can be focused to a particular direction; Nadir for example
04/11/202313
Ready To Fly (RTF): for manual control and flight. RF signal depending on project area
Wind resistance: If yes, it would be better for stability
Way point Navigation System for Autonomous flight
Flight time: Depending on project area, 20+ minutes. This depends on payload and battery type
Battery type and rating: LIPO ( lithium polymer battery) eg. 3S 4250mAh / 4S 4250mAh / 4S 100000mAh i.e Battery with higher mAh has longer flight time.

Conclusion
Traditionally such projects presuppose aerial photography, LIDAR and remote sensing techniques from large manned aircrafts and satellites, which was not economically justified
This project is an attempt in NEPAL to introduce the use of UAV as a data acquisition platform to monitor an effect of climate change i.e. rise of temperature
