Identifier 2023-028-FA
Alternate names Sandwich Beach UAS surveys
Purpose To collect shoreline and volumetric data after the USACE winter 2023 nourishment project.
Location Sandwich Beach, Massachusetts
Summary 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.
