For nearly a decade the USDA-Agricultural Research Service has partnered with AggieAir to evaluate the utility of using drones for mapping high resolution vineyard evapotranspiration (ET) and stress in the California wine growing region. This research collaboration has led to 17 peer reviewed publications and resulted in improvements in sensor calibration, understanding the impact of plant-soil shadow on ET, improvement in biomass and leaf area estimation, recommendations for determining ET modeling grid size, impact of thermal emissivity on ET and determining the timing for a single daytime image acquisition and the extrapolation technique for estimating accurate daily ET. The capability of separating vine plant and interrow contributions to leaf area and ET is providing valuable information for satellite-based ET models that attempt to partition ET into transpiration and evaporation. In addition, the research results and modeling tools are being extended to other high value woody perennial crops and natural ecosystems.

"I had an excellent experience working with Aggie Air. After I explained what type of data I wanted to collect, they provided me with multiple options offering a range of services at different price points, which helped me to make the best decision for my research program. Aggie Air had frequent communication with me leading up to the scheduled flights, and they were able to work flexibly around challenging weather conditions. They provided us with the resulting imagery very quickly after the flights were conducted. Working with Aggie Air gave my research program the opportunity to try out a new sensor that they had already acquired, which helped us to decide whether to purchase one for ourselves. I plan to work with Aggie Air again this coming season to conduct more flights, and I would highly recommend their services."

"AggieAir partnered with the USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station, Bentz Lab, to evaluate the potential for using drones to delineate species of high elevation pines growing in mixed stands in remote areas. Climate change is contributing to increasing high elevation pine mortality and knowledge of species being affected is critical for management, particularly in steep remote areas. High spatial resolution drone flights on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, augmented with data from ground surveys, provided an initial assessment of the potential use of these tools in high elevation forest management."
