About
Dr. Anna Rae Green is a leading expert in radiological survey and mapping, with a primary research focus on the deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for environmental radiation detection and characterization. Her most significant contribution to the field is the pioneering development of large-scale, controlled radioactive dispersal techniques for calibrating aerial detection systems. In her landmark 2019 study, cited 5 times, she led a collaborative field trial between Defence Research and Development Canada and Natural Resources Canada, successfully dispersing 35 GBq of 140La in a 3,200-meter L-polygon pattern. This work established a critical methodology for validating UAV-based radiation mapping capabilities, enabling more accurate emergency response and environmental monitoring. Dr. Green’s research directly addresses the challenge of creating realistic, reproducible test scenarios for radiological survey equipment, bridging the gap between laboratory calibration and real-world operational conditions. Her achievements are foundational for advancing autonomous systems in nuclear security and environmental safety, making her a key figure in the integration of robotics with radiological science.
