NGS Director Juliana Blackwell and Chief Geodesist Dan Roman participated in a joint meeting of the Pan-American Institute of Geography and History Pan-American Institute of Geography and History (PAIGH) and the United Nations Global Geospatial Information Management (UN GGIM) U.S. Delegation. Both groups provided highlights of their activities and discussed areas of overlap that could be the focus of future efforts. Global cooperation and partnership on standards and geodetic infrastructure are key to improving commerce, navigation, interoperability, and access to information around the world.
