The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) staff recently traveled to Puerto Rico to participate in the Centennial Celebration of the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaquez (UPRM) held on Sept. 23 on the University of Mayaquez campus. Juliana Blackwell, Director of NGS, addressed the group and dedicated and unveiled the University of Mayaquez/NGS commemorative mark. Nearly 200 people attended the event. Other NGS staff will perform work to further expand the Puerto Rico vertical reference frame in areas lacking vertical control. For more information, contact Sherri Watkins.
