AGU Annual Meeting

Spectral Data You Can Compare—From Field Plot to Orbit

When every flight delivers calibrated, comparable spectra, field data becomes the ground truth that connects your study site to the satellite record. Results from one campaign line up with the next, and your conclusions rest on measurements you can defend.

Connecting field, air and orbit is at the heart of AGU, the largest gathering of Earth and space scientists, with more than 25,000 attendees from over 100 countries. The 2026 Annual Meeting takes place December 7–11 at Moscone Center in San Francisco.

At AGU, Headwall will show how research teams collect high-resolution spectral data on their own drones and aircraft, at the scale of their study site. Factory-aligned, radiometrically calibrated payloads need minimal integration time and deliver repeatable results across flights, platforms and illumination conditions—so this season’s data can be compared with the next, and with spaceborne sensors.

Visitors can explore Headwall’s airborne payloads, including the Nano HP and the Co-Aligned HP, which captures VNIR and SWIR data in a single pass, with optional LiDAR. Applications range from vegetation health and canopy stress to snow and glacier impurities, water quality, and soil and mineral composition.

Meet our experts at Booth 1101 to discuss your study site, explore payload and platform options, and assess whether hyperspectral imaging can provide the data your next campaign requires.

Calibrated in Every Flight. Comparable Across Every Campaign.
