The fantail of the R/V Savannah loaded with USGS gear recovered from near Matanzas Inlet, FL.  The data collected by the sensors in winter 2018 will be used to assess storm effects on coastal inlet dynamics.
 

A 3DR Solo quadcopter is collecting imagery at Chimney Bluffs State Park in NY. Using photogrammetric techniques, a 3D surface model was created providing elevation data. 

USGS team and R/V Savannah crew prepare to lower the quadpod deployed at the nearshore site onto the deck during recovery operations.  Note all the hairy encrusting organisms that grew in 3 months and how close to the shoreline the ship is.
