We will also look at the newly released NGS Standards and Specifications, which include the use of Real-Time techniques, and provide research showing why certain specifications or techniques are required.

GCAP Accomplishments Reporting
by Parrish, Christopher 07 Mar '25

07 Mar '25

Hi GCAP, Thanks for the very productive GCAP Team meeting today! The updates and ideas regarding collaboration on papers, supplementary materials, GCAP seminars, M-PAGES, etc., were all great. One more quick request: here's the Progress Report Updates doc<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…> that we started in the meeting. If you have even 5 min today, could you please add a few bullet items related to your task(s) and GCAP activities between Oct 24 and now? This can be very brief and there's no need to worry about wordsmithing-the goal is just to capture activities while we're working on them, rather than 3 months from now, when we're working on the next report. Thank you! -Chris

Along our nation's coastlines, it is important to identify the factors contributing to local apparent (relative) sea-level change to understand what management options might exist to mitigate any increased risk of inundation and flooding. This talk will explore how episodic campaign-style GPS measurements are being used to densify our understanding of VLM in the Chesapeake Bay region, and explore the implications of some preliminary findings. *Technical Content Rating: Beginner - No prior knowledge of the topic is necessary. ________________________________ As a reminder, the NGS Webinar Series<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flinks-1.g…> hosts presentations on various topics related to NGS programs<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flinks-1.g…>, projects, products and services to educate constituents about NGS activities. * View our upcoming webinar schedule<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flinks-1.g…> * View recordings of previous webinars<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flinks-1.g…> * Have a question?
