On March 2-3 and 9, the NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) and National Geodetic Survey (NGS) partnered to deliver a Web-based training called "Introduction to Geodetic and Tidal Vertical Datums." Staff from NOAA; other federal agencies; academia; and state, local, and private organizations attended the training sessions. The training was designed to provide an understanding of the relationship between tidal datums, the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), and the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29). Recordings of the presentation are available online here. For more information, contact Erika Wilson.
