Prepare to be mesmerized and befuddled! The guys were joined this week by an OG (Episode 26)...Mr. Brian Fisher! Brian is, among other things, the State Geodetic Coordinator to Arizona for National Geodetic Survey and a Registered Land Surveyor at Central Arizona Project. We referred to this being the "Geodesy for Dummies" episode. Besides Brian's choice of music...this was non-stop quality content from start to finish! He dropped many truth bombs that will make everyone listening take a step back and question their geodetic prowess! Cletus O. Oakley was quoted. Music by APHEX TWIN!

In this episode, we talk to Lynda Bell, who is the Southwest Regional Geodetic Advisor for NOAA's National Geodetic Survey. She is the geodetic advisor for Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. In the episode, she explains why the National Spatial Reference Frame (NSRS) is so important and how it is a framework that ties all of our geospatial data together. She also reminds us of what a datum is and what we need to know about the new datums that are coming in 2023. She also explains the GPS on BenchMark program and how you can contribute. We then ask her about her recent visit to Utah and the importance of the PLSS monument preservation at Temple Square and also the USGS/UGRC Great Salt Lake Causeway project - a project measuring water levels and height.You can email Lynda directly with questions at lynda.bell@noaa.govLinksMore info from NOAA on Datumshttps://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/datum.htmlNOAA's National Geodetic Survey webpagehttps://geodesy.noaa.gov/The GPS on BenchMarks Programhttps://geodesy.noaa.gov/GPSonBM/Jack And Bore: A Key Component to Preserving the Salt Lake Temple in an Earthquakehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N273kjZN0I8

For over six decades, the National Geodetic Survey has partnered with the U.S. Census Bureau to calculate the U.S. center of population — the precise location where an imaginary, flat, weightless, and rigid map of the United States would balance perfectly if all Americans were of identical weight. Tune in to the latest episode of the NOAA Ocean podcast to learn about the center of population, and how capturing snapshots of the U.S. population reveals long-term migration patterns and even helps us use maps on our smartphones.

Happy National Surveyor’s Week! Our guest this week is Galen Scott from the National Geodetic Survey (NGS). As the Constituent Resources Manager, Galen is involved with many of the tools and programs going on within NGS. He chatted recently with Tim Burch about the GPS on Benchmarks program and how important having crowdsourced data is for completing the geoid base for the 2022 datum changes. Galen also announced the new features to the OPUS programs, including a simplified way for bluebooking significant control stations AND the feature to upload RTK data to incorporate with your OPUS solutions. Lots of great stuff coming out of Silver Spring! This is the first in a new series with Galen and lots of great things from NGS so stay tuned for even more! Thanks again for listening to “Surveyor Says!” The NSPS Podcast.

In keeping with the theme of Women’s History Month, our very special guest for this episode is Juliana Blackwell, Director of the National Geodetic Survey (NGS). She recently talked with Tim Burch to share her career path leading up to her current position at the helm of the nation’s oldest federal science agency. From her days on a NOAA research ship, in the field with a survey crew collecting geodetic information, to the floor of the United Nations coordinating geopotential reference frames, Juliana’s story is fascinating and inspiring. She reiterates the importance of the need for upgrading the national spatial reference system (NSRS) to steer our future of autonomous guidance. We are proud of our partnership with Juliana and NGS, so thanks for listening to this episode of “Surveyor Says!” The NSPS Podcast.

In Ireland we often find ourselves caught between two stools when it comes to the way we talk about measurements. We’ll tell you the height of a mountain in metres but use feet and inches for our own height. In America there’s even more confusion. Not just because Americans are more wedded to the imperial system but they also have two versions of the standard foot. Michael L. Dennis is a Geodesist with the National Geodetic Survey in the US.

Since the early 1900’s the National Geodetic Survey has been taking photographs from airplanes to capture the Earth below. We talk with two NOAA experts about their role in emergency response imagery collection after hurricanes, and what it provides for the public. Episode permanent link and show notes

Jeff Jalbrzikowski of NOAA's National Geodetic Survey

On April 24-25, NOAA's National Geodetic Survey presented its 2017 Geospatial Summit in Silver Spring, MD. Join host Curt Sumner as he talks with Dru Smith and Christine Gallagher about the summit and the planned modernization of the National Spatial Reference System.

Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST, are developing atomic clocks that are so accurate that the effects of the general theory of relativity come into play. That means if two of these clocks are at slightly different elevations—even a few centimeters—the higher clock runs noticeably faster. In this episode, find out why this is a problem for NIST, how the National Geodetic Survey helped to solve this problem, and how these amazing atomic clocks may someday play an important role in the science of geodesy.

How do we measure elevation changes in estuaries--marshy areas where land elevations are constantly shifting? How will sea level rise affect the flora and fauna that live in these places? See how National Geodetic Survey experts are laying the groundwork to help answer these challenging questions at Waquoit Bay in Mass. Episode permanent link and show notes

We've got an oldie but a goodie lined up for the final podcast of 2012. Did you know that the National Ocean Service helps to ensure that Santa doesn't get lost on his journey around the country on December 25th. Here's an episode that originally aired way back in 2008 about Santa and the National Geodetic Survey. Enjoy!

Have you ever been to Four Corners? It’s the only place in the U.S. where four states meet at one point. A few years back, there was some confusion over the position of a monument at Four Corners that marks this spot. Some reports claimed that the position of this marker was off by two and a half miles. Today, we’re revisiting a 2009 interview with Dave Doyle, chief geodetic surveyor from NOS’s National Geodetic Survey. As you’ll hear, Four Corners is exactly where it’s supposed to be — and the reason for that is that surveying isn’t only about taking precise measurements with sophisticated equipment, it's also about history, technology, and law.

This week, we talk about NOAA's role in a new public-private partnership called the EcoZone® Green Schools Initiative. Then we look at the busiest year on record for the NOS Office of Response and Restoration, the NOAA office that responds to oil and chemical spills around the nation. Finally, we talk about a National Geodetic Survey effort to revolutionize the measurement of height by measuring gravity around the country. We wrap up the episode with a closer look at how gravity and height are related.

Since 2007, NOAA's National Ocean Service has been working to update the National Spatial Reference System. This huge project will modernize the system for measuring the horizontal positions and vertical elevations of the United States and its territories. During the course of this work, NOAA scientists realized that the heights of Colorado's famous “Fourteeners” — or mountains with peak elevations of at least 14,000 feet — had been overestimated. In this episode, we learn why this occurred, how this impacts the status of these mountains, and what benefits this project will have for the nation. Our featured expert is Derek van Westrum, physicist with NOAA's National Geodetic Survey. NOAA Ocean Podcast: Episode 79 -Moving Mountains
