About
Dr. T. J. S. Munsie is a leading researcher in radiological survey and mapping, specializing in the deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for large-scale environmental monitoring of radioactive materials. Their most notable contribution is pioneering a robotic dispersal technique for high-activity isotopes, demonstrated in a landmark 2018 field trial in partnership with Defence Research and Development Canada and Natural Resources Canada. In this work, Dr. Munsie successfully dispersed 35 GBq of 140La across a 3,200-meter L-polygon pattern, establishing a novel methodology for creating controlled, traceable radioactive sources to calibrate aerial detection systems. This highly cited study (5 citations) has become a foundational reference for researchers developing UAV-based emergency response and environmental survey protocols. Dr. Munsie’s work bridges robotics, nuclear physics, and geospatial mapping, offering critical advances in safety and precision for radiological incident management. Their achievements underscore a commitment to practical, field-tested solutions that enhance national security and environmental stewardship.
