Evaluating the accuracy of unmanned aerial systems to quantify glacial ice habitats of harbor seals in Alaska

Abstract Long‐term monitoring programs to evaluate climate‐driven changes to tidewater glaciers, an important habitat for harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) in Alaska, are primarily carried out by costly, weather‐dependent aerial surveys from fixed‐winged aircraft. Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) can be an...
