Over the last decade UAVs have become standard tools for the acquisition of spatial data to support various geoscientific analyzes. Although the most common drone applications are associated with the acquisition of aerial images and their processing using photogrametric methods for map making, miniaturization of geophysical instruments has recently opened up new opportunities to install them on board. Modern UAVs have high endurance and can carry heavy payloads such as geophysical sensors. Today, UAVs allow geoscientists to allow measurements on the Earth's surface and in the atmosphere. Possible uses of the UAV are: studying the deformation of the earth, studying the dynamics of the ice sheet and glaciers, studying the hurricanes, etc.
