Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) deployed multirotor small unoccupied aircraft systems (sUAS or drones) on June 21, 2018, to collect imagery data documenting site conditions at the USGS National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site near Bemidji, Minnesota, USA. True color visible light images were collected across the general study area. Multispectral images in five spectral bands (blue, green, red, red edge, and near-infrared) were collected at two aerial survey heights over smaller parts of the study area.

Purpose

In June 2018 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected true color and multispectral aerial imagery using multirotor small unoccupied aircraft systems (sUAS or drones) at the USGS National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site near Bemidji, Minnesota, USA. The surveys were part of a USGS evaluation of the integration of small unoccupied aircraft systems into USGS hydrogeophysical studies. The surveys were intended to evaluate and inform general sUAS data collection methods. The surveys were also intended to provide data to inform assessments of whether extent of historical hydrocarbon release can be identified via changes in vegetation and (or) soil characteristics as observed in high-resolution aerial multispectral and true color imagery data.
