CLUS Goals• To promote applied interdisciplinary research on
issues related to land use and sustainability.
• To support affordable, sustainable solutions in our local, regional, and global communities.

Small area mapping with drones
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS, aka ‘drones’) are suitable for accomplishing mapping and monitoring tasks that are too large for manual field surveys alone AND too small for traditional airplane-based methods.
Cost effective. Time efficient. *
In many ways, mapping with drones is an excellent compliment to both basic and applied fieldwork.
March 31, 2018: Riparian corridor along Burd Run, leaf-off conditions.
May 24, 2018: The same riparian corridor, leaf-on conditions.Interactivestory map

Small area mapping with drones
Pilots, including remote pilots, must be certified by the FAA to do commercial work or research with drones.
• Airspace and airport rules• Atmospheric science• Mission planning and situational awareness• Photogrammetry• Safety, safety, safety• and then there’s the flying part.
Applications we’ve supported so far:• Archeological site preparation and mapping, conservation
tree planting, dam removal monitoring, stream restoration monitoring, riparian buffer gap analysis, and urban planning.
Thank you!
