MENUSHA HASARANGA

Currently I am enrolled in a degree program in the field of Fisheries and Marine Science . I am passionate about using GIS and remote sensing technology to investigate and preserve our marine ecosystems. I have a solid foundation in GIS and remote sensing methods, especially as they relate to coastal areas. I also have practical experience with UAV photogrammetry and am skilled in using Agisoft Metashape, QGIS , Google Earth, and ArcGIS software to create precise maps and spatial analysis.

I am eager to contribute to significant research or Commercial projects in the field of Remote sensing and GIS and looking for opportunities to work with like-minded individuals and organizations.

In my ongoing research, titled "An Approach to Assess Coastal Dynamics Using UAV Photogrammetry Technology," I have been actively engaged in employing cutting-edge UAV mapping technologies to study coastal dynamics. My proficiency encompasses various aspects of UAV operations and data processing. I have gained experience in utilizing drone deploy software for efficient mission planning and execution, ensuring optimal coverage and data quality. With a strong understanding of Ground Control Points, I can accurately navigate the UAV to designated areas of interest, facilitating comprehensive data collection. A key component of my research involves 3D orthomosaic generation, where I leverage photogrammetric techniques to stitch together high-resolution imagery into detailed, three-dimensional models of coastal regions. This process allows for a comprehensive visualization of the terrain, enabling precise analysis of coastal features and changes over time. Furthermore, I developed skilled in digitizing coastal features from UAV-derived imagery, facilitating the extraction of valuable spatial data for analysis. Utilizing advanced tools such as DSAS (Digital Shoreline Analysis System), I conduct thorough shoreline change analysis, assessing variations in coastline morphology and identifying patterns of erosion or accretion.
