Using Drones and Low Elevation Remote Sensing Technology to Measure Changes in the Environment

September 19th, 2019 – “Using Drones and Low Elevation Remote Sensing Technology to Measure Changes in the Environment”
Drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly
being used to record images before and after restoration actions are
implemented across our watersheds. This technology offers the potential to
monitor impacts associated with restoration actions that are more
efficient when compared to ground based methods. Yet, the learning curve
is steep to apply this technology and create a useful product in a timely
manner. Three speakers will provide a short presentation that describes
their approach to using this technology to answer their monitoring
questions and describe challenges, lessons learned and recommendations. A
question and answer session will follow the three presentations.

Panelists:

• Ken Fetcho, OWEB Effectiveness Monitoring Coordinator
• Herb Winters, Gilliam SWCD District Manager Herb Winters’ Prezi
• Lauren Burns, Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission Fishery Biologist Lauren Burns’ PDF
• Matt Barker, OSU Forest Engineering, Resources, and Management Graduate Student Matt Barker’s PPTX
