THIBODAUX, La. — A ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ student received a top research award from Louisiana Sea Grant for his research using drones to study the coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brennon Dardar, a junior geomatics major from Cut Off, was awarded best undergraduate presentation at the State of the Coast conference in New Orleans earlier this month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dardar\u2019s presentation, titled \u201cEvaluation of Small Unmanned Aerial Systems as a Levee Monitoring Tool,\u201d was reviewed by a panel of judges who graded students on their ability to communicate their research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe used the unmanned aerial vehicles to study the structural stability of levees, which are so critical to this area. Coming from a localized community here in southeast Louisiana, this was research that I\u2019m passionate about,\u201d Dardar said. \u201cTo be recognized for the all of the hard work that I put into doing the study, it means a great deal to me.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dardar was awarded a $350 check from the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana as a result. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Established in 1968 as part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\u2019s National Sea Grant Program, the Louisiana Sea Grant College Program has worked to promote stewardship of the state\u2019s coastal resources through a combination of research, education and outreach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
