项目摘要

This Major Research Instrumentation Grant award supports the acquisition of a novel multi sensor-equipped Uncrewed/Unoccupied Aerial System (UAS) observatory for coastal mapping and data collection from both the air and the ground in an integrative manner. The observatory will consist of three off-the-shelf, commercial UAS platforms equipped with four complementary remote sensors: 10-band multispectral, hyperspectral, topographic and topo-bathymetric Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) along with required in situ reference instrumentation to form a consolidated system to monitor and map coastal ecosystems. This coastal UAS observatory, the first of its kind at a Southeast United States regional university, builds on university expertise and on-going research. By bolstering infrastructure in a rapidly urbanizing coastal region, this acquisition will enable continuation and development of new and diverse interdisciplinary applications of UAS-derived data and, importantly, provide unparalleled opportunities for student training, professional development and community partnerships. The state-of-the art instrumentation also will provide students, especially women and participants from underrepresented groups, with hands-on training in the operation, collection, and analysis of remotely-sensed datasets. Empowering students with these high-demand skills will not only increase their competitiveness in coastal engineering, geography, and environmental science job markets but also expand representation in the rapidly growing UAS and geospatial employment fields. These assets also will increase academic recruitment to the southeastern U.S. where poverty is prevalent, and underrepresented minorities comprise a large percentage of the region’s population. The instrumentation and datasets will be readily available to a growing community of researchers, institutions, and local and regional stakeholders given the new and innovative collaborations between academia, government and growing geospatial industry sectors supported by this equipment.The planned research will focus on quantifying, mapping, monitoring and modeling coastal ecosystem and human-environmental dynamics in under-studied and critical coastal ecosystems of coastal regions, currently home to more than half of the world’s population. The strongest impact will occur across those fields where accounting for spatially- and temporally-explicit dynamic processes is critical. Continuous, integrated (e.g., nearshore, estuarine, and riverine) and synoptic measurements will identify areas that are most vulnerable to the combined impacts of sea-level rise and extreme weather events, guide land management decisions and inform strategies and tools that enable both ecosystems and humans to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Therefore, the observatory will provide critical infrastructure to observe and quantify human-environment, biogeographic, geomorphic, biogeochemical and surface processes and establish a novel framework for detecting, modeling and predicting future impacts to complex and anthropogenically-impacted coastal regions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
这项主要研究仪器补助金支持购买一种新型的多传感器装备的无人驾驶/无人驾驶航空系统(UAS)天文台,用于以综合方式从空中和地面进行海岸测绘和数据收集。该观测站将由三个现成的商用无人机系统平台组成,配备四个互补的遥感器:10波段多光谱、高光谱、地形和地形测深光探测和测距(LiDAR),沿着必要的现场参考仪器,以形成一个监测和绘制沿海生态系统的综合系统。这个沿海UAS天文台是美国东南部地区大学的第一个此类天文台,建立在大学专业知识和正在进行的研究基础上。通过支持快速城市化的沿海地区的基础设施,此次收购将使UAS衍生数据的新的和多样化的跨学科应用的持续和发展成为可能,重要的是,为学生培训,专业发展和社区合作伙伴关系提供无与伦比的机会。最先进的仪器还将为学生,特别是妇女和代表性不足群体的参与者提供遥感数据集操作、收集和分析方面的实践培训。 赋予学生这些高要求的技能,不仅可以提高他们在海岸工程,地理和环境科学就业市场的竞争力,还可以扩大在快速增长的UAS和地理空间就业领域的代表性。这些资产还将增加美国东南部的学术招聘,那里贫困普遍,代表性不足的少数民族占该地区人口的很大比例。仪器和数据集将随时提供给越来越多的研究人员,机构,以及地方和区域利益相关者,因为学术界,政府和日益增长的地理空间产业部门之间的新的和创新的合作得到了这种设备的支持。计划的研究将集中在量化,绘图,监测和模拟沿海地区研究不足和关键沿海生态系统中的沿海生态系统和人类环境动态,目前居住着世界上一半以上的人口。最强的影响将发生在那些占空间和时间明确的动态过程是至关重要的领域。连续、集成(例如,近岸、河口和河流)和天气测量将确定最易受海平面上升和极端天气事件综合影响的地区,指导土地管理决策,并为使生态系统和人类能够适应不断变化的环境条件的战略和工具提供信息。因此,该观测站将提供重要的基础设施,以观测和量化人类-环境、地理、地貌、地球化学和地表过程,并建立一个新的框架,模拟和预测未来的影响,以复杂的和有害的-该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响进行评估,被认为值得支持审查标准。
