GRAV-D Alaska Survey Operations to Conclude for the Season in Alaska

The National Geodetic Survey's (NGS) Gravity for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum (GRAV-D) airborne team transitioned from Fairbanks to Anchorage, Alaska for its final week of operations for the 2010 calendar year. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management aircraft employed by the team is in scheduled maintenance in Anchorage, and by moving operations there, NGS can capitalize on additional flight days. The GRAV-D team will continue operations in January and February from McClellan Field in Sacramento, California, with survey work in central and northern California.
