Mer Bleue, Ontario, Arctic surrogate study site project, 2016 : global navigation satellite system survey report / C. Prévost and H.P. White.: M103-3/36-2017E-PDF

"The Arctic is an important, but difficult, area to study for wetland monitoring. To reduce survey costs, researchers often use more accessible surrogate sites. Ontario's Mer Bleue Bog, featuring open space / low tree coverage, typical of Arctic environment, is used here as Arctic surrogate study site. For the last few years, versatile and low cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's), commonly known as drones, have been used for multi-temporal aerial surveys of wetlands. The geographic positioning of the UAV data is often insufficient to support a proper survey. This open file describes in detail the methodology and results of a ground GPS survey used for the geographic correction of the UAV photo data collected over Mer Bleue Bog in 2016”--Provided by publisher.
