U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Seeking to Expand Development and Use of High-accuracy Geodetic Control Network

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) recently turned to the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) for assistance in the application of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology to obtain high-accuracy positions and elevations across its northeast coastal refuge system. NGS is supporting this effort by developing customized training workshops to address the increasing needs of FWS for GNSS-based products and tools. NGS is currently developing a series of workshops for FWS to be held in April 2011 at its Corbin Training Center in Corbin, VA. For more information, contact Philippe Hensel.
