7. Leveraged Funds For CRTN

8. CSRC Mandate • Establish and maintain the California Spatial Reference System - CSRS. • Provide the necessary geodetic services to ensure the availability of accurate, consistent, and timely spatial referencing data. • Monitor temporal changes in geodetic coordinates due to tectonic motion, earthquakes, volcanic deformation and land subsidence. • Establish the legal spatial reference system for California.

9. FY’05-’06 Research Objectives • What is the proper observation mix to maintain a modern height network, and how should these measurements be optimally combined? Observation types include continuous GPS (CGPS), field GPS surveys at passive monuments, spirit leveling, and gravity surveys. • What is the proper mix of geoid models and local corrector surfaces, in converting from GPS-determined geodetic heights to orthometric heights? What interpolation methods will provide the optimal corrector surfaces? • Can we apply and enhance modern IT methods to provide timely access to height modernization information? • How does one develop and implement a precise GIS for the purposes of height modernization? • How can real-time (RT) CGPS networks, such as those being created in California, be best used to directly support height modernization and spatial referencing?

Several have been built (8), several more are slated for construction (4-6) and more are in various stages of the process. Several have also been relocated for reasons ranging from rejected permits to subsidence. This is par for the course. We would definitely not be where we are at without your significant efforts, Bob. Regards, Chris”
