Carl Robinson
Head of Airborne Survey Technology
Biography
Carl Robinson is Head of Airborne Survey Technology at British Antarctic Survey (BAS), he has been employed at BAS since 2005 during which time he has lead on the technical aspects of some of the BASs largest ever aerial surveys carried out in Antarctica including AGAP. During this period Carl has developed the BAS geophysics platform to achieve these highly complex and demanding survey campaigns. As well as sensor platform development Carl has lead the BAS Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) strategy.
