Thermo-erosion Survey Location: http://binged.it/10NHaxw

To Bring:

• RTK gps system pelican case with all batteries fully charged
• Survey Tripod
• Label Maker
• 2pcs Extendable Range Pole
• 6pcs 1.2m Range Poles
• Camera, Lens, Battery, Remote Trigger, memory card
• Additional Marker Plates
• Nails
• Field book
• Lunch
• Labeled Marker Plates
• 30m tape measure
• Gas for fourwheelers
• GoPro & atv mount
• gps & gps mount for logging camera positions
  • could we use sxblue gps with semi-RTK?

To Do:

• calculate / measure coverage of lens @ 18mm at varying heights.
  • compute 90% overlap
• Set up RTK GPS system at the thermo-erosion site.
• While one person places the marker plates the other will survey them using the RTK gps system
  • I am not sure how long this will take, I'm budgeting for two days. I have the GPS set up to position average for 20 seconds per point. So, there is a finite number of points we can do per day and I don't know how many points we'll end up taking until we get out there.
• After the plates are surveyed in (or while one of us is surveying, can play that by ear), we'll also conduct a photo survey using a camera mounted at about 5 meters above the ground surface.
• Time Depending: Maybe also swing by the North Facing High Site to check on the battery.
• Shooting for 90% coverage on the photos.
