NGS Presents at Geodesy Meeting in Austria

The National Geodetic Survey recently represented the United States at the joint meeting of two International Association of Geodesy working groups in Vienna, Austria. The meeting focused on how absolute gravimeter comparisons are conducted. Representatives also discussed standards and procedures necessary for the establishment of an International Gravity Reference System, which would provide reference gravity values to facilitate surveys for applications in geology, hydrology, and geodesy.
