By Carrie Anderson. Hughes Center Intern, Summer 2022. Dr. Jarrod Miller spent last summer with his eyes in the sky, tracking drones as they flew up and down the fields of Dorchester and Somerset counties.An assistant professor and Extension specialist in agronomy at the University of Delaware, Miller is the lead drone pilot of a team working to track saltwater intrusion onto farmland along ...

2024年7月1日 · In this study, we aim to develop a method to retrieve the water surface salinity within estuaries using a combination of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) hyperspectral and satellite multispectral images.

2024年7月1日 · In this study, we aim to develop a method to retrieve the water surface salinity within estuaries using a combination of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) hyperspectral and satellite multispectral images. Combining UAV and satellite images for monitoring saltwater intrusion in waterways has several advantages.

2024年5月8日 · To enable quick monitoring of saltwater intrusion, this study developed new remote sensing algorithms for water surface salinity measurement using four decision tree-based machine learning...

We show first results of a drone based semi-airborne setting on a site adjacent to the North Sea coast, where saltwater is intruding into a freshwater aquifer. We show the way from processing the raw magnetic data to subsurface models using a 500 m long line.

2022年7月25日 · This drone image by Jarrod Miller, assistant professor in the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, shows how farms close to estuaries and tidal streams connected to the Chesapeake Bay can be impacted by saltwater encroachment.

2023年7月20日 · High-resolution aerial images reveal that saltwater intrusion in the US Mid-Atlantic may be worse than previously thought, with costly impacts on regional agriculture.

NexSens saltwater intrusion monitoring systems utilize reliable, field-proven instruments for salinity measurement. Instruments from leading manufacturers such as YSI, Hydrolab, Eureka and Insitu are compatible with the X3 data logger, the …

2019年4月18日 · A Stanford-led team of researchers used remote sensing to identify areas of saltwater intrusion, a common cause of drinking water contamination in coastal areas – home to approximately 40 percent of the global population.

For saltwater intrusion research, a drone can view a whole farm field within minutes and provide an apparent reason for a farmer’s poor yield. Reaching 400 feet in the air within five minutes, any damage from salt, flooding or other field stressors is unmistakable.
