  1. AEC Summit NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey Update Brian Shaw Geodesist

  2. NGS Mission To define, maintain and provide access to the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) to meet our nation’s economic, social, and environmental needs. The NSRS is a consistent coordinate system that defines latitude, longitude, height, scale, gravity, and orientation throughout the United States.

  3. The NSRS Supports National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NSRS positioning data provides the reference for NOAA’s nautical charts, among many other geospatial applications. Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMA uses NSRS elevations to determine flood zones for the National Flood Insurance Program. United States Army Corps of Engineers USACE uses NSRS elevations to determine levee heights and positions in their Levee Safety Program. United States Geological Survey USGS uses the NSRS to geospatially reference their Topographic maps and interior water data for the nation. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency NSRS gravity data contributes to NGA’s geospatial mission.

  4. 2015 Geospatial Summit Now online - videos and presentations http://www.geodesy.noaa.gov/2015GeospatialSummit/ NGS Webinar Series: http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/web/science_edu/webinar_series/ August 2015 - Summary report will be published online September 10, 2015 - NGS Webinar topic will be “De-briefing the Geospatial Summit”

  5. NGS Regional Advisor Program

  6. OPUS Projects OPUS Project for Managers classes ~112 Total OP Managers trained ~2,850 OP Trainers ~15(includes ~10 NGS Advisors) OR, NY, IA, MN, MT, VT, NC, SC, FL, WI, NH, WA, AK, CA, AR, NM, AL, LA, MI, VA, MS, UT, & more GPS static survey control for transportation projects… Bridges, highway construction, rights of way, paving, lidar, mobile scanning, terrestrial scanning, photogrammetry, roadside inventory, signing, machine control, GIS … all aligned with the National Spatial Reference System. NSRS State DOT’s with trained OP Manager(s)

  7. GPS on Bench Marks http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/GPSonBM/

  8. Gravity for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum (GRAV-D)

  9. New Datums are Coming in 2022! • Both a new geometric and a new geopotential (vertical) datum will be released in 2022. • The realization of the new datums will be through GNSS receivers. • NGS will provide the tools to easily transform between the new and old datums.

  10. Define, Maintain and Provide Access to the NSRS The NGS mission remains the same National Spatial Reference System More information at www.geodesy.noaa.gov
