Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Aerial imagery was collected by an unmanned aerial system (UAS) at Sage Lot Pond in Waquoit, MA July 20, 2018. This collection was acquired to explore the UAS potential for mapping marsh ecological systems, vegetation diversity, and creating high resolution elevation maps for use in carbon sequestration models. This was flown during training on the FireFly Pro6 UAS. 351 Ricoh GRII photos (2.04 GB) were collected along with 6 GCPs.
