Personal profile
Overview
Dr Olly Bartlett is a Senior Lecturer in Remote Sensing and Geography with expertise in remote sensing, geographic information systems, and fieldwork in polar and alpine environments. Dr Bartlett's ongoing research interests include utilising planetary scale remote sensing analysis to monitor the cryosphere as well as high-latitude and high-altitude ecosystems. In particular, Olly is researching what comes next as glaciers across the globe recede. Dr Bartlett is an expert in Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based remote sensing, holding a UK GVC for UAV operation, and has undertaken numerous flight campaigns across polar and alpine regions worlwide including: Greenland, Nepal, Svalbard and the Peruvian Andes.
