Drone's eye view of a USGS remote pilot during a biocrust mission near Moab, UT

NUSO UAS pilot Matt Burgess captures an image of himself while landing a UAS after a flight over a biocrust site near Moab, Utah.

Researchers from the NUSO, USGS Canyonlands Research Center, USGS Western Geographic Science Center, and the University of Arizona School of Natural Resources and the Environment teamed up in February 2022 for a biocrust remote sensing and field data campaign near Moab, Utah to enable cross-scale observations of biocrust presence, composition, and behavior changes in response to climate change.
