Thanks Chris,

Just to clarify, NEON (National Ecological Observatory Network) a very  long term (30 yrs) NSF funded field work oriented effort (similar to the LTER) collects ecological data including remote sensing over many sites, and one is right here (UA managed Santa Rita Experimental Range, about 30 miles south of Tucson). They will fly (low altitude) their AOP (Airborne Observation Platform) fixed-wing airplane equipped with Lidar, Hyperspectral (AVIRIS like), and RGB cameras and collect extremely rich data.
Many of us at the UA (ex: SNRE) join to collect concurrently field data especially Drone-based.  If anyone wants to join (fly a drone) they will need to get permission (involvepaperworkrk through Dr. Mitch McClaran, the director of SRER).

Best

Hello,

Here are the abbreviated notes from our last meeting on May 24, 2021. Please feel free to make corrections or to expand on these notes!

The full notes for this meeting, as well as older ones, can be found at https://hackmd.io/qmEvvCivSd-92Vla01-XVw?view.

Notes:

  *   Kamel mentioned that NEON is flying drones and people can join in flying drones
  *   Artin Majdi joined us to discuss MLFlow which can be used to develop and run ML  (Machine Learning) algorithms. CyVerse is working on supporting MLFlow in the Discovery Environment. If you are using ML, you may want to check out what MLFlow offers
  *   Andrew French is working with Planet Labs, who are using ML for their work: https://storage.googleapis.com/planet-ditl/day-in-the-life/index.html
  *   Tyson suggested going to https://faasafety.gov to link your drone pilot license with the site
  *   It was suggested that Jeff Gillman provide a Metashape workshop at our next meeting
  *   Kamel recommended contacting RSSL for drone battery best practices;  they can become dangerous through age, improper storage, and due to other factors

Thanks for reading! Our next meeting is June 28, 2021 @ 4:00PM.

Cheers until then,

Chris
