  1. NOAA’s 2015 Geospatial Summit Preparing for New Datums NOAA National Ocean Service Acting Assistant Administrator W. Russell Callender, Ph.D. April 13, 2015

  2. Outline NOAA and Ocean Service priorities Modernized NSRS and benefits of new datums Partnerships and where you fit in

  3. NOS Priorities

  4. Foundational Information National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) Supports users from coast to coast, and everywhere in between Planned improvements will leverage new technology and increase accuracy of positional information

  5. Modernized NSRS • Replace NAD 83 • Replace NAVD 88 • GRAV-D • Foundation CORS • Transformation tool

  6. Benefits of New Datums Easier to maintain • Passive control deteriorates; land moves Leverages technology • Datums will be realized through GNSS Better heights • GRAV-D will improve geoid model

  7. Partners Federal agencies FGDC will formally adopt new datums State and local agencies Laws, contracts, etc may need to change Private Sector NAD 83 State Plane Coordinate System State Legislation

  8. Where you fit in Engage NOAA and NGS • Geospatial Summits • Webinars and Trainings Manage your Geospatial Data • Metadata • Retain original observations Share Data • GPS on Bench Marks
