A New Method to Map Groundwater Table in Peatlands Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Groundwater level (GWL) and depth to water (DTW) are related metrics aimed at characterizing groundwater-table positions in peatlands, and two of the most common variables collected by researchers working in these ecosystems. While well-established field techniques exist for measuring GWL and DTW, t...
