Aerial survey of the Rookery Bay, South Georgia, gentoo penguin colony during the 2021/22 season, flight number DPLUS_109_18
GB/NERC/BAS/PDC/01897

Summary

Abstract:
Aerial survey of the Rookery Bay gentoo penguin colony during the 2021/22 season conducted using a RPAS (remotely piloted aerial system).
The aerial survey was conducted as part of the Darwin Plus (DPLUS) 109 project: Initiating Monitoring Support for the SGSSI-MPA Research and Monitoring Plan for the purpose of establishing a baseline population estimate of key indicator species around South Georgia.
Dataset includes the original images and log files, the original RINEX GNSS (global navigation satellite system) base station files, the post-processed GNSS and imagery data, along with the resulting georeferenced DSM (digital surface model) and an orthorectified mosaic of the imagery.
This dataset is from flight number DPLUS_109_18 and was carried out on 31/12/2021.
This work was supported by the Overseas Territories Environment and Climate Fund under Grant Darwin Plus ref: DPLUS109: Initiating monitoring support for the SGSSI-MPA Research and Monitoring Plan. Funding for this work was also received from the UK Blue Belt fund through GSGSSI.
