rine and coastal zones compared to traditional methods. This
presentation will show emergent applications of UAS-based
remote sensing and photogrammetry to coastal and marine
environments. Topics covered will include the following: (1)
structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry and optical in-
version for mapping littoral zones; (2) airborne fluid lensing
for monitoring of aquatic resources; (3) debris mapping and
plastics identification. Time permitting, additional examples
on the emergent use of UAS for coastal and marine surveil-
lance will be presented.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Determination of cellulose content in plants or biomass can
provide critical information on plant health or biomass
characteristics. An NIR field spectroradiometer like the PSR+
or RS-3500 from SPECTRAL EVOLUTION can measure
cellulose fast, with no sample prep, non-destructively in the
field. The PSR+ and RS-3500 are both portable full range,
UV-VIS-NIR instruments with high resolution and low noise.

EVENTS
On June 9th, ASPRS will hold the next installment in its pop-
ular GeoByte Series—Coastal and Marine Surveillance with
UAS.
Much research has been devoted to development of tech-
niques to improve airborne imaging of underwater features
using traditional aircraft equipped with metric-grade camer-
as. Small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) provide a par-
adigm shift in efficiency and low cost aerial surveying of ma-
