Fusion of Geodesy and GIS at NOAA's National Geodetic Survey
Presented by Brian Shaw, NOAA
*January 29th, 2016, 12 noon – 1 pm EST*

The mission of NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey (NGS) is to define,
maintain, and provide access to the National Spatial Reference System
(NSRS), the foundation for navigation, mapping, and surveying in the United
States. For most of its over 200 year history, NGS has largely met its
mission objectives without GIS...until now. NGS has developed a GIS toolbox
that includes survey tools that create attribute-rich GIS features for GNSS
and geodetic leveling networks directly from NGS software output (including
OPUS-Projects), and a grid conversion tool that generates standard GIS
rasters from NGS grids, such as geoid models. The GIS tools were created
using the Python scripting language and are accessed through the Esri
ArcToolbox. This workshop describes these new NGS GIS products and services
and shows how they are being used. The new tools provide better access to
the NSRS and leverage the power of GIS for display and analysis of geodetic
data. By developing such tools, NGS better meets the needs of our growing
and diverse customer base of surveyors, GIS practitioners, and other
geospatial professionals.
