Dedicated to the environment — wildlife, habitats and environmental change
AeroGlobe is dedicated to the environment. Our aerial survey work now focuses on wildlife, marine science, coastal habitats and environmental change. We work with researchers, conservation organisations and government agencies to document the places and species they manage.
More than twenty years of aerial photogrammetry, camera-system development and field operations underpin that work. We capture detailed imagery, map terrain and vegetation, and connect wildlife observations to their locations. Our wider mapping capabilities also support disaster response, flood visualisation and recovery planning.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS
View image +AeroGlobe undertakes aerial photogrammetry and environmental monitoring for marine research and conservation. Our work includes turtle nesting-beach surveys, dugong surveys and coastal habitat mapping.
Projects include Coral Sea turtle monitoring, Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait nesting-beach surveys, and dugong surveys along the Queensland coast with James Cook University and TropWATER.
Aerial imagery, geospatial analysis and specialist review support research into wildlife distribution, abundance and changes in habitat.

MARINE STATISTICAL MAPPING
Turtles · Dugongs · Seabirds · Marine mammals ↗We specialise in complex marine science operations including large-scale coastal corridor surveys, marine detection and observational reporting. We have authored papers on marine mammal photogrammetry and create customised camera systems for specialist operations.
Using aerial imagery to observe and document marine life, including turtles, dugongs, marine mammals, birds and other aquatic species, for research and conservation purposes. This includes species identification, fauna counts, direction and qualifiers.
We provide tailored data analysis, GIS services and reporting to support scientific research, conservation efforts and decision-making by government agencies and research teams. Repeat survey data can be compared with historical imagery to assess long-term change.

From colony imagery to individual bird observations.
DISASTER RESPONSE & FLOOD VISUALISATION
Aerial imagery and spatial data for assessment, recovery and environmental change.
Our response experience includes the Christchurch earthquake, Cyclone Yasi and floods in Brisbane, Bundaberg, Rockhampton, Sydney and the Hawkesbury. Aerial imagery records affected places and supports recovery planning.
Photogrammetric terrain and built-form models also let us show flood scenarios across a landscape. The film below is a simulated flood visualisation.
3D MODELS & URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Our photogrammetry experience includes city models, architectural visualisation and terrain mapping. These capabilities support environmental studies, planning and the communication of proposed changes.

High-resolution, georeferenced images record construction progress and changes in landscapes and urban areas over time. Repeat aerial mapping provides a visual record for project teams, environmental agencies and planners.
Our infrastructure work includes photogrammetry, volumetric measurements, height measurements and asset capture.

Our current AeroGlobe Pod V6 is the sixth generation of the imaging platform, developed for wildlife transect surveys and coastal mapping. The system integrates multiple cameras with GPS and inertial navigation data and is used on aircraft platforms including the Cessna 206, GA8 Airvan and Partenavia P68.

We build imaging systems specifically for aerial survey work. Our development combines cameras, inertial navigation and aircraft integration to capture large areas and retain the spatial information needed for photogrammetry.
The camera-pod design shown here is part of that development history. The current platform is the AeroGlobe Pod V6.
