NGS Hosts Geospatial Modeling Grant Recipients Meeting

Febraruy 9, 2021

NGS hosted a meeting with Geospatial Modeling Grant recipients, giving NGS staff and the grant recipients the opportunity to provide updates on their respective geospatial activities and discuss potential collaboration in the future. Specific topics included workforce development in the geospatial industry, national and regional outreach plans, subsidence monitoring in the Gulf of Mexico, improving the alignment of national and regional reference frames, remote sensing technology, and gravity and astronomical observations. Meeting participants discovered and developed a list of opportunities to guide future collaborations as NGS works to modernize the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). The funding objectives of the Geospatial Modeling Grant are to modernize and improve the NSRS in the Gulf Coast region and to improve the awareness, coordination, and use of geospatial data. Grant recipients include the University of Southern Mississippi, Texas A&M - Corpus Christi, Louisiana State University, University of Florida, and the Alabama Department of Transportation.
