Track: Environmental Management
Authors: Francisco Delia, Carlos Tamayo

This study consist of a Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle (UAV) survey program to collect data for a comprehensive waterways characterization applying a multidisciplinary geospatial solutions, including remote sensing, aerial photogrammetry, global positioning systems (GPS) tracking, sonar and differential GPS integrations. The overall goal is to assist in monitoring waterways circulation system surrounding Miami Beach as well as the turbidity patters and potentially algae blooms.
