Track: Learning and Research Lightning Talk
Authors: David Smith, Steve Moore, Tim Krantz, Nate Strout

Working with the Tetiaroa Society located in French Polynesian, students at the University of Redlands are creating a baseline survey of the atoll's physical characteristics and biological resources. This placed-based project spans multiple years of data gathering, including GPS, kite and drone aerial photography. This on-going project benefits the Society in their stewardship of this pristine, ecologically sensitive environment.
