Discovery Day 2024
Discover how the Baker Lab uses drones for coastal mapping and research
Research Takes Flight!
Click on each category to watch our drone highlights!
See what it is like to fly our drone on sandy beaches and from a boat, check out a 3D view of a marsh, and get a bird's eye view of a restoration site!
Spot the Difference!
Use the slider to compare these two images! The one on the left is a standard image - it shows the marsh in colors that you and I usually see. The one on the right is a "False Color" image which shows colors outside the visual spectrum. Our drone has special cameras that collect information about plant health in every picture, so we can color the image differently to see this information! Want to know more? Ask a scientist in the Baker Lab!
What stands out in the "False Color" versus the "True Color" image?
Which parts are red?
Which are blue?
Highlighting these differences helps us track change over time and see what parts of the marsh have healthy plants!
