Exploitation of Thermal Signals in a Tidal Flat Environment -- Planning

Abstract

Investigators participated within the planning phase of the Tidal Flats Department Research Initiative (DRI) to help design and site a series of large collaborative field experiments. The work included meetings and field trips to characterize potential sites, as well as logistical concerns. Emphasis was on integrating remote (infrared imagery) and in situ (thermistor) field sensing of thermal signals into the experiment plan. Investigators attended DRI planning meetings in Hawaii and South Korea, scouted field sites in Washington State, began development of new methods, and collected preliminary data. The preliminary data include infrared images from Korean sites, and sediment temperature profiles from Washington State sites.
