Project Geospatial

Summary Dr. Daniel Roman from Noah’s National Geodetic Survey (NGS) discusses the modernization of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) to improve accuracy and accessibility of geospatial data. Highlights 🌍 The NSRS provides a consistent coordinate system for latitude, longitude, height, and gravity. 🔄 Modernizing the NSRS aims to meet modern needs and ensure compatibility with global colleagues. 📊 Access to a consistent and accurate reference system allows for integration of various data sets. 📐 NGS will replace existing datums with new reference frames specific to US states and territories. 🛠 Transformation tools will be provided to convert data from the current datum to the new reference frames. 📍 Determine your precision and accuracy requirements to select the appropriate tools and methodologies. 📚 Training videos and data expertise are available to assist with understanding and utilizing the updated NSRS.
