In this webinar co-hosted with Esri, we will introduce several case studies showcasing the integration of drone deployment with powerful GIS and field applications software. Advancements in the ever-evolving wetland science and technology ecosystem are creating massive levels of efficiency in wetland mapping and monitoring. Additionally, learn about how drones and apps can help narrow the scope of fieldwork efforts and reduce the cost of regulatory wetland delineations.
