EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM TO STIMULATE COMPETITIVE RESEARCH (EPSCoR): Enhancing Missouri's capacity to model and respond to the effects of climate change on plants and communities at a local scale. EPSCoR research and educational programs will improve science and engineering capabilities that will benefit urban and rural Missourians from all regions and all economic levels.

FUNDED by the NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION (NSF) UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (UAS) DOMAIN EXPERT August 2014 to Present

• Five Year Program w/ $20 Million Funding ($250,000) Lead by the Danforth Institute in collaboration with University of Missouri, Missouri University of Science Technology, Saint Louis University, and Washington University

• Seed Funded Project w/$50,000 through Missouri State University Agriculture (See below)

Missouri Transect: The Missouri Transect: Climate, Plants and Community is a statewide collaborative research effort to understand how climate variability impacts plants and communities in Missouri. As the UAS domain expert, I am developing and deploying UAS imaging and remote-sensing technologies of sufficient resolution to understand individual plant physiological and population-level phenotypes in response to environmental variation. Fixed-wing and rotary platforms are being used to collect imagery as small as 1-3 cm ground sample distance and will be used for phenotyping of plants in field settings. UAS platforms are performing high-overlap image collection using several imaging technologies including Color-infrared (CIR), Near-infrared (NIR), Red-edge (RE), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Hyperspectral, and thermal imaging.

UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (UAS) DOMAIN EXPERT June 2016 to 2017 Two Year Program w/ Seed Funding from EPSCoR/MO Transect Collaboration with Missouri State University (MSU), Springfield, MO 2 year program w/$50,000

Journagan Ranch: Part of the Darr School of Agriculture, MSU, and has 3,300 acres of land with a small tract used for raising cattle and operation facilities. It has natural timberland, hills, streams and grassland with diverse microclimates and soil conditions. Wild Vitis species (grapevines), black walnut (Juglans nigra), and pecan (Carya illinoinesnsis) have been chosen as indicator species for monitoring vegetative growth. Research Goal(s): is to develop accurate and reliable methods of estimating and monitoring vegetative response of selected wild grape and tree species to regional and localized fluctuations in climate and seasonality. Specific objectives of research are to: (1) Collect hyperspectral imagery and aerial photos through an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) (2) Derive vegetative metrics from the UAS-based sensor system, includes canopy height off the ground, species identification, canopy cover or crown closure, foliage growth, and hyperspectral vegetation indices; (3) Validate vegetative metrics derived from remote sensing techniques with ground reference data and cross-validation of estimates from developed models; and (4) Develop a spatial-temporal model to correlate with local temperature and precipitation, so that this model can be used to retrieve and assess vegetation responses in the context of long-term climate changes.

UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (UAS) RINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR 2018-Present FUNDED by United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resource and Conservation Service (NRCS) One Year Program $50,000 with Optional Second Year (Add $50,000) Southeast Missouri Region: A sample of approximately 10 locations in the region that present a variety of types of highly erodible lands (HEL) and wetlands and of specific interest to the agencies. The Miller Wetland Reserve is a 27.22-acre property near Scott City, MO.

David M. Barton Agriculture Research Center: This facility can be used for a controlled environment as one of the sample locations to evaluate HEL and crop residue. The sample location consists of 252 acres (100 ha) featuring emerging technologies in irrigated row-crop production. The row-crop component is based on a 100 acre (40 ha) land-graded field having the latest technology involving controlled sub-surface drainage and irrigation. Row crop research primarily involves soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) and corn (Zea mays L.) production, illustrating emerging technologies and production methods.

Research Goals: includes the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resource and Conservation Service (NRCS), other stakeholders, and those specifically located on and/or nearby highly erodible land (HEL) in cropland and wetlands. Research will be conducted to develop technology to assist the agencies listed above on the efficient use of UAS for enhancing conservation compliance on highly erodible land (HEL) and wetlands.

RESEARCH & SPECIAL PROJECTS CONTINUED

Unmanned Aerial Systems: Remote Sensing, Surveying & Mapping from an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). An

UAS is a small aerial vehicle operating in an autonomous mode (autopilot) used for remote observation. I have been evaluating the use of UAS as a supplement and/or replacement to traditional mapping methods. During my evaluation I began consulting for Gatewing, the leading manufacturer of UAS located in Ghent, Belgium. I have been specifically focused on the applications for UAS for engineering, mapping, surveying, mining, & materials with a focus on transportation. I am trained to operate a UAS and performed product demonstrations and training. I worked on adapting existing software to accommodate these needs.

Mobile Mapping: Survey, Mapping, and Transportation Asset Collection from a mobile platform. A mobile mapper is a moving platform that uses kinematic GNSS, inertial measuring unit (IMU), laser scanners, and cameras. Utilized a development agreement with Trimble and Applanix. I had already integrated the use of tripod-based laser scanners when the opportunity to evaluate the Applanix LandMark mobile mapping system presented itself. During this evaluation, I developed custom workflows for providing department of transportation survey deliverables from mobile LiDAR data. I also participated in the Federal Highway Administrations Mobile Mapping Rodeo. At this rodeo, we collected roadway asset data for a test site in Fairfax, VA. The use of semi-automatic feature extraction from LiDAR and photogrammetry was used for rapid feature extraction from imagery and LiDAR. I was then hired by Trimble as a consultant to further advance the workflows that I had developed specifically for mobile surveying. I visited many end users to evaluate their needs for this technology. I have specific experience in Western Australia evaluating the use of a mobile mapper in this mining rich area.
