| Description: |
Speaker: Donald T. Poole, Outermost Land Survey, Inc.
Title of talk: Land Surveying Abstract: My talk will be about the history of land surveying, with an emphasis on the trig aspects of developing accurate measurements and spatial relations. I would like to review the careers available through Land Surveying, and finish with a discussion of GPS use in the Land Surveying world. I expect to review, in a general manner, the theory and practice of survey quality GPS, the brief history it has enjoyed, and the development of more precise geoids. I will discuss the history of the geoids used in the USA up to the most recent 2008 geoid. |
