NGS Helps Improve Precise Positioning Framework for Puerto Rico

Representatives from NOAA's National Geodetic Survey (NGS) traveled to Puerto Rico on November 1 to assist with ongoing activities to improve the geodetic framework on the island. NGS participants met with leveling contractors, visited leveling lines, and provided software-training seminars to surveyors over the course of the week. The seminars will include tools and techniques for publishing precise positioning data in NGS' Integrated Database. NGS representatives also served as leveling experts in support of a seminar presented at the Colegio de Ingenieros y Agrimensores de Puerto Rico in San Juan.
