Session Description:
This session is intended to review the current state-of-the-art in the use of autonomous systems for observation and study of coastal and estuarine processes. Autonomous in this context refers to all forms of unpiloted systems operating in the air, land, and sea and focused on coastal zone sensing including unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), gliders, and potentially autonomous terrestrial vehicles. This session will consider technology development, methods for data acquisition, and how data from these systems are processed and applied to measure and analyze coastal and estuarine processes. The geographic domains of interest extend from the littoral boundary inland through sub-aerial coastal landforms to estuaries. Of particular interest in this session is the use of UAS for coastal mapping, hazards assessment, and monitoring nearshore processes; integration of data acquired from unmanned systems for model calibration or parameter estimation; fusion of measurements derived from air and sea platforms; and all other emergent forms of the use of autonomous systems for study of coastal and estuarine processes.
