NGS Meets with Gulf Coast Grant Partners

Friday, February 14, 2020

At the end of January, NGS senior leadership met with grant partners in the Gulf Coast to discuss national priorities for geodetic research and the NGS vision for growing the community of practice in geodesy. Grantees participating in the meeting included the University of Southern Mississippi, Louisiana State University, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, University of Florida, and the Alabama Department of Transportation. NGS took this opportunity to discuss geodetic and remote sensing research interests for the Nation and the Gulf of Mexico. The partners presented on their own cutting-edge applications of geodesy and demonstrated a crowd-sourced application for envisioning Gulf-coast geographic data. The exchange of ideas resulted in more than a dozen new opportunities for future research and plans to engage more youth and the public-at-large in the field of geographic positioning.
