Geodesy for the Geographer: Vertical Datums
Wednesday October 9, 2024 11:00am - 11:30am EDT
Whitley
Join Jeff for a discussion of the various vertical datums of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), targeted for the floodplain manager, but great for anyone who works with 3D data analysis.  We will review terminology, some technical history of the superseded vertical datum NGVD29, how the current vertical datum NAVD88 is different, and the forthcoming new datum NAPGD2022.  Vertical datum transformations (aka conversions), and tools available from NGS to do that, will be explained along with an overview of FEMA's Vertical Datum Conversion guidance document.
