### Overview

This data set includes imagery collected using Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAV, i.e. drones) for a series of research sites in interior Alaska with the objective of mapping the distribution of individual plants (e.g. Eriophorum vaginatum tussocks) and other similarly sized ecosystem components. Data was collected in the summer of 2024 using a DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise quadcopter with integrated multispectral and rgb sensors. The majority of the imagery focuses on study sites within the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) site near Healy, Alaska. The data set also includes a small amount of ground truth data on tussock dimensions for these sites. Additional images include a series of riparian corridors with beaver wetlands along the Denali and Steese Highways.
