Learning the Rules and Regs

Drones, a.k.a. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs, using FAA speak) are a relatively new tool for many applications, including environmental mapping and change analysis.  Scientists at UNC CSI and ECU will be using them into the future for research and education.

Today, we learned federal and state regulations and demonstrated our aircraft capability.

Estuarine Observing

The CSI Coastal Processes team is hard at work in the middle of Albemarle Sound. In collaboration with the Corps of Engineers Field Research Facility, we have re-established the Albemarle Sound Site...an observing site the monitors meteorological data and waves along one of the most treacherous sections of the intercostal waterway. We should have data streaming real-time very soon!!
