Remote Sensing/UAS Workshop - Part 2

This in-person workshop is sponsored by NOAA’s Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) and the Disaster Preparedness Program, and hosted by the University of New Hampshire’s Coastal Response Research Center.

Dates

     September 10 & 11 (Tuesday and Wednesday) from 8:30 - 4:30 EDT each day

     Demonstration and field experiment on Thursday, September 12 (near Gregg Hall at the Facility for Outdoor Remote Sensing (FORT); located near the UNH Police Station)

Overall Objective:

Opportunity to share standards and capabilities for remote sensing in an operational context.  Discuss where efforts overlap and how best to support each other.

 

Workshop Objectives:

1. What are ORR's  top operational needs for the use of remote sensing?
2. What are other NOAA entities/partners doing with remote sensing and how can we partner with them or leverage their resources and knowledge to support ORR needs?
3. How can other NOAA entities/partners (e.g., protected resources, ONMS) assist ORR with its remote sensing needs in support of incident response, assessment/restoration, disaster response, marine debris, etc.? 
4. Prioritized list of research needs. What's new? Lessons learned? 
5. How to transition technologies into operations (e.g., spills, cases. projects).
6. Where do ORR efforts overlap with other programs and partners? How can these entities help each other?
