"Tying" It All Together: NGS Field Operations

March 21, 2024 | 2:00-3:00 pm, ET

Presenter:

Ryan Hippenstiel

Field Operations Branch Chief, National Geodetic Survey

Webinar Description:

High quality field data is a critical component of any surveying product, and the programs and modernization efforts within NGS/NOAA are supported by a team of surveyors and cartographers in the Field Operations Branch. NGS executes a variety of geodetic surveys to support the development and modernization of a wide array of critical products. This webinar will discuss recent and on-going field activities, how they support products you rely on, and give a deeper look into how complex field projects are executed.

The role NGS plays in the development of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame will be described, focusing on the survey of “local ties” at colocation sites where multiple space geodetic techniques exist. This topic will explore the unique scope of work and difficulties faced when measuring between a variety of sensors at the same observatory. 

This overview will give the audience a better understanding of field operations at NGS and the role they play in NGS, NOAA, and international products widely used by many.

*Technical Content Rating: Beginner- No prior knowledge of the topic is needed.

As a reminder, the NGS Webinar Series hosts presentations on various topics related to NGS programs, projects, products and services to educate constituents about NGS activities.
