I currently work for the Swedish Geological Survey and am concurrently doing my MSc. thesis in Physical Geography.
I have a team of top UAV engineers (https://www.bitcraze.io/) helping me to develop a specialized UAV, I am confident it will be of interest to you. It is also likely that we will have some good funding opportunists connected to the project.
See my linked in profile if you would like to know more about my background.

I look forward to getting in touch.
All the best,
