Other ID: Sandwich Beach UAS surveys
Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s):
Principal Investigator(s): Sandra Brosnahan, Amy Farris
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): Jin-Si Over
Data Type(s): Imagery: Photo, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Location-Elevation: LIDAR
Scientific Purpose/Goals: To collect shoreline and volumetric data after the USACE winter 2023 nourishment project.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location:
End Port/Location:
Start Date: 2023-12-19
End Date: 2023-12-19
Equipment Used: Ricoh GR II, Spectra Precision SP80, DJI Matrice, Aeropoint targets, YellowScan Mapper +
Information to be Derived: lidar data and imagery
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Collected lidar data successfully with two flights but camera on lidar system did not trigger so flew one flight with the Ricoh camera. 10 AeroPoints were deployed, one may not have collected data. GPS SP80 RTK system using MASS CORs was used to take transect points along the beach and on the AeroPoints. Weather was good.
