The clock is ticking. The U.S. survey foot is scheduled for deprecation on December 31, 2022, but the State Plane Coordinate System of 2022 (SPCS2022) will not be released until 2025, along with the rest of the modernized National Spatial Reference System. This webinar gives an update on the status of SPCS2022, when it will be finalized, and the role of the U.S. survey foot after 2022.

GEOID2022 is the model that defines the surface of zero height in NAPGD2022, NGS’s upcoming geopotential height system for North America. The final geoid model is planned for a 2025 release after the completion of the GRAV-D project. The presentation reports the status of GEOID2022's development and the latest news on GRAV-D.

GPS/GNSS (Global Positioning System/ Global Navigation Satellite System) is a critical tool used for a variety of jobs worldwide. This talk will introduce these systems and the satellite orbit products, a crucial component of these systems, from the NGS (National Geodetic Survey).
Join us for a discussion on how to process GPS data with NOAA’s Online Positioning User Service, how to understand and interpret the output, and possible ways to identify and resolve errors. There will be time for an open question and answer period on any OPUS topic.
The remainder of the time will be open for a question and answer period on any OPUS topic. If you would like to submit a question(s) beforehand, please email it to ngs.training@noaa.gov, with the subject line, “OPUS User Forum”.

This presentation will provide an overview of a field campaign that was undertaken by NGS in the Fall of 2021 to support the Geoid Monitoring Service and a time-dependent geoid model. The campaign included static GNSS, relative gravity, and deflection of the vertical techniques on 50 stations in Alaska.

NGS is now providing tools that support the use of real-time kinematic (RTK) data in control survey projects. NGS has released Beta OPUS Projects 5 where users can upload RTK vectors in a newly defined standard file exchange format called GVX. A demonstration will be given on how to set up an RTK rover, export the data to GVX format, and upload the GVX file to OPUS Projects 5 for inclusion in a survey network for least squares adjustment. Additional discussion will be given on the recommended RTK field practices, how to prepare an RTK survey on bench marks for publication at NGS, and how to use quality control and adjustment tools inside of OPUS Projects 5.
The remainder of the time will be open for a question and answer period on any OPUS topic. If you would like to submit a question(s) beforehand, please email it to ngs.training@noaa.gov, with the subject line, “OPUS User Forum”.

Astronomy has played a central role in geodesy, whether through measuring Earth’s shape or precisely orienting geodetic networks. This webinar introduces the basic concepts of geodetic astronomy. It overviews the methods and practices of the Coast & Geodetic Survey throughout the 19th and 20th century and the role geodetic astronomy played in the development of modern geodetic systems. It closes with the story of modern geodetic astronomy at NGS with the Geoid Slope Validation Surveys and the development of the Total Station Astrogeodetic Control System (TSACS).

NGS provides a team of Regional Geodetic Advisors, living and working in regions across the United States, who are available to assist you with questions or problems related to the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). Whether it be questions about establishing a CORS, using OPUS, collecting data for GPS on BenchMarks (GPSonBM), or providing a presentation at your conference, your Regional Advisor is well equipped to facilitate. Please join us for an explanation of the NSRS and an update on the Advisor Program!
