In my research, I investigate the use of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) or “drones” as a method to apply herbicide to treat invasive Phragmites australis in wetland environments. My project uses a combination of field collected data and remote sensing techniques to assess the efficacy and accuracy of this application method. The hope is that drones can be used as a useful tool for herbicide treatment, especially in remote wetlands where P. australis is largely inaccessible by foot or where sensitive species are present.
