Start Date: 2021-12-06
End Date: 2021-12-10
Equipment Used: Ricoh GR II, Spectra Precision SP80, Aeropoint targets, 3DR Solo mRo, Parrot Anafi
Information to be Derived: Elevation, shoreline change
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Field activity was completed 2021-12-09, two field sites were chosen due to inclement weather once on site. National Park Service employees flew their own drones to collect data for processing. WHCMSC aeropoints were used as ground control. A NUPO owned Parrot Anafi was used by WHCMSC to take video, and a 3DR Solo was flown by WHCMSC with a Ricoh GRII attached.
