<h2 class="major2">Aviation and Remote Sensing</h2>
<!-- <img class="left" src="/images/kelpfire/Fire.jpg" width="50%" alt=""> -->
<p>
CITRIS Aviation specializes in gathering scientific data using unmanned aerial vehicles and
satellites, especially in the fields of landscape ecology and agriculture. We emphasize through
research, consultation and courses developing practical solutions, promoting the use of timely
aerial data, and understanding information.

<h2>KelpFire</h2>
<p>
KelpFire studies how coastal wildfires deliver sediments and carbon into ocean
ecosystems, including National Marine Sanctuaries and the unique kelp-based
ecosystems. Over four years a team of geospatial experts at NASA Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, UCLA and led by Dr. Erin Hestir and
colleagues at UC Merced will train the next generation of diverse NASA innovators and
advance understanding and forecasting of wildfire on the California coast. The
multidisciplinary research focuses on several wildfire impacted watersheds along the
California coast.

<h2>BioSCape: Biodiversity Survey of the Cape</h2>
<p>
Through cross-disciplinary research, NASA is conducting its first biodiversity field
campaign by assembling airborne imageing spectroscopy, LIDAR, and field observations of
a critical and highly diverse area of the world, the South African Greater Cape Floristic
Region’s coastal and marine environments. Dr. Erin Hestir co-directs the program that is
designed to engage scholars from South Africa and to improve understanding of the
distribution and abundance of biodiversity, the role of biodiversity in ecosystem function,
and the impacts of biodiversity change on ecosystem services.

<h2>AquaWatch</h2>
<p>
The quality of freshwater resources is a concern shared by humanity across the world, vital
to preserving agriculture, ecosystems, and our communities. UC Merced and UC Davis
have teamed up with CSIRO Australia to join an international constellation of space and
ground sensor systems integrated into a near-real time space-based IoT system to deliver
timely water information to those that need it most. Using California as a key pilot site for
development, UC Merced is leading research that will inform sensor development and data
integration from ground-based sensors, space-based sensors, advanced analytics, and
predictive modeling to delivery decision-ready information to end-users.

<h2>Center of Excellence</h2>
<p>
The UC Merced campus is distinguished as the UC Center of Excellence on Unmanned Aircraft System
(UAS) Safety, offering expertise and ensuring regulatory compliance for UAS operations
across the entire University of California system. The Center is authorized to grant certain forms
of approval for UAS operations in the US via the Federal Aviation Administration. The UC
Center of Excellence on UAS Safety specializes in dedicated training for operators, researchers
and technical users.
