Brandon Booker, a research physical scientist at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), is pictured during an experiment with the U.S. Coast Guard's Research and Development Center and the Environmental Protection Agency while testing an aerial drone to determine how effective the device is for measuring air quality and environmental impact of burning oil on water. The aerial drone is a new means of capturing these measurements, and the U.S. Coast Guard has also deployed traditional ground sensors to compare with the readings from the aerial drone. CRREL is one of the few federal agencies with the knowledge, permissions, licenses and facilities to accommodate in situ burns.
