New England salt marshes provide many ecosystem services to humans and the environment. But these environments are at threat from drivers such as sea level rise. Unoccupied Aerial Vehicle (UAV) acquired, very high spatial resolution, remotely sensed imagery can be used to monitor and assess vegetation changes within these landscapes. This presentation will discuss the methods and benefits of collecting and processing varying band, date, and elevation layer combinations for this purpose. UAVs and aerial camera systems will be on display for attendees to examine.
