sUAS flights at the Darby Creek landfill in Pennsylvania will support ecological restoration monitoring and environmental assessment. Aerial imagery will be used to quantify and classify vegetation growth over time, evaluate landscape elevation changes to assess cap stability and erosion, and collect thermal data to identify potential groundwater seepage areas.
Location
Darby Township, Philadelphia, PA
Info derived
Will be flying multiple sensors and UAS: Wingta Lidar and RGB. The SkyDio will be used to collect thermal and normal RGB imagery and video. GCPs will be deployed and Emlid GPS equipment used to collect elevation check points and GNSS data. Vegetation data will also be collected in random quadrats (% cover, type, and height). Will also fly Freefly Astro Max.
