"Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has the mandate of providing essential geographic information. An improved knowledge of our physical environment represents one of the cores of this mandate. The Arctic is an important but challenging region to study, especially for wetland monitoring. To reduce survey costs, researchers often use surrogate sites located in less remote areas when evaluating and developing applications. The Mer Bleue Bog Peatlands, a conveniently accessible sub-arctic wetland similar to many wetlands found in the Arctic environment, is being used as arctic surrogate study site for the MBASSS Project. This study site is used for the calibration and validation of various types of optical (spectral) remote sensing data acquired by several project partners using satellite, airborne and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platforms. Precisely geo-located products require ground control points (reference points) which are visible to the sensor on the platform and whose geographic location is known with precision. To fulfill this need, high precision GNSS surveys are required. This highly illustrated document describes in detail the methods and results of the GNSS surveys required for the geographic rectification of imagery, including Unmanned Aerial Vehicle photographs, airborne hyperspectral imagery, and space borne multi-spectral imagery acquired within the scope of MBASSS during 2018"--Abstract, page 5.
