Overview
PrecisionHawk is an unmanned aerial systems company that provides a complete solution for aerial data gathering, processing and analysis in a number of markets, including agriculture and forestry. Drs. Ingo Ensminger (University of Toronto) and Nathalie Isabel (Forest and Environmental Genomics at Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Forest Service (CFS) – Quebec region) are partnering with PrecisionHawk to develop a suite of next generation genomic resources for improved tree breeding and selection. The funded project will help PrecisionHawk develop and deploy a software application that will enable breeders and forest managers to aerially assess tree phenology and performance during both the growing season and in response to pressures such as water deficits.
