Doctoral Thesis Presentation in Agri-environmental Technology for Sustainable Agriculture.
Luz Karime Atencia Payares defends her doctoral thesis directed by María Gómez del Campo and Ana María Tarquis Alonso, on Friday 26 July at 10.00 am, in the Aula Magna of the Agronomists Building, at the School of Agronomy, Food and Biosystems Engineering.
The Doctoral Thesis is entitled: ‘Application of multispectral and thermal sensors on board UASs for the characterisation of the variability of the vineyard (cv. merlot) in Yepes (Toledo)’. This PhD is part of the Industrial Doctorate Programme of the UPM, a modality of doctoral studies in which the thesis is developed in the context of a company, in this case Unmanned Technical Works S.L. Unmanned Technical Works S.L.
The aim of the project has been to evaluate the behaviour of olive groves and vines in response to different deficit irrigation strategies and their physiological relationship with thermal and spectral images from UAVs and satellites. In this way we have obtained a reliable source of data with which to build a fast and efficient decision-making system. Among the specific objectives we are looking for: i) To determine the most sustainable deficit irrigation strategies in olive groves and vineyards; ii) To determine the parameters most sensitive to the state of hydration of the trees; iii) Application of airborne spectral and thermal sensors (installed in UAVs and satellites) for the morphological and physiological characterisation of olive trees and vines; iv) soil-plant-atmosphere relationship with spectral devices; v) Development of learning systems for decision making.
Soon we will celebrate the graduation of a new PhD in CEIGRAM, we will keep you informed.
