Surveyar is working hard on developing new technologies that will support useful measurements of changing gas conditions resulting from industry, land use and land use changes. With a range of research and development projects examining different use cases and a growing list of supporting world leading institutions it is good timing then that one of the global leaders in atmospheric science and in particular methane has joined the growing team at Surveyar.

Prof Grant Allen leads a greenhouse gas emissions measurement group at the University of Manchester, where he developed world-first capability in the quantification of methane and carbon dioxide emissions using unmanned aerial systems (aka drones). Grant is an ex-pilot and ESA astronaut candidate with a PhD in satellite infrared remote sensing of atmospheric composition. As a field specialist, Grant has led international research campaigns to study manmade and natural-world greenhouse gas emissions in Australia, Africa, the Arctic and South America. Grant is a highly published expert in optical sensors, atmospheric sampling and remote sensing, meteorology, and emissions quantification. 

Grants impressive capabilities will allow us to accelerate our planned research and development with our objective of providing a range of commercial solutions. Solutions which are essential to understanding and making the best informed evidenced based decisions in our journey to achieving net zero.
