About the Instructor
Frank McDermott has 20 years of experience in GIS with the last 16 years focused on the environmental sector. As the GIS/UAV manager for one of the most established environmental consulting firms in the Southwest, Frank has taken the lead on developing creative solutions to support client needs while protecting sensitive resources. He started their UAV program in 2017 shortly after the FAA developed it’s Part 107 commercial UAV licensing program. Since then he has flown over 100 missions for a variety of private and public sector clients.
Why my course is useful
I spent the better part of 2 months assessing technology and trying to figure out the best way to get a license and how to process the data. Once you take this course, you will have a tried and true workflow to plan, fly, and process data collected by your drone for habitat mapping.
Why I built it
For a long time, I wondered about the use of drones as a tool for our environmental GIS program. And once I got my license and started creating value added data for our projects, we saw new opportunities. So I’d like to help others to overcome their technical hesitation and learn the ROI of a good UAS program.
What I hope for you
I hope you can be part of the quickly growing UAV/UAS community. You’ll learn that the UAV is a key piece of hardware to go along with the GPS unit, server, and tablet to support your GIS practice. With better data you can inspire better environmental decisions. And it gets you out of the office for a day!

Top reviews from Leveraging UAV (Drone) Data For Environmental Projects
Instructor worked in an environmental company and showed me how GIS is really done.
The only problem with this class is that now I need a drone to go out and complete a full project to gain confidence in the workflow.
Frank was really responsive to my emails and setting up meetings.
I skipped the FAA drone pilot license but went back after the course to pass this test.
Your course taught me about photogrammetry which wasn’t a class in my college.
