The STORMLINK project (NCN/2021/43/D/ST10/00185) has published a new paper on its ability to detect changes in the patterns and spread of sandy sediments in the marine coastal zone. In our latest study, we combined data from a drone equipped with a LiDAR scanner with data from a multispectral camera to distinguish freshly formed sediments from those deposited earlier, achieving an accuracy of up to 90%. The developed survey and data processing methodology facilitates low-cost detection of storm sediments, among other outcomes, resulting from violent weather events. However, many more possibilities exist to apply the developed survey method for monitoring natural processes.
