Xandra holding phragmites

The AIM group collaborated with the National Uncrewed Systems Office to test the newly acquired Ocean HDX Miniature Spectrometer, a modified laboratory spectroradiometer, against the much costlier industry standard product, at the South Cape Beach Marsh in Waquoit Bay, Massachusetts. The data collected in this field effort is being used in a secondary study for machine learning classification of invasive Phragmites australis (common reed).
