Members & Friends,
Michael Dennis of the National Geodetic Survey (and fellow Oregon GNSS Users Group member) is giving two webinars on the transition of State Plane Coordinates to the new and upcoming Terrestrial Reference Frames of 2022. The first webinar is this Thursday, March 8; the second webinar will build upon the first, and be held on April 12. More information along with registration links are below, or you can visit the NGS website directly here:

For those who attended the Geodetic Workshop provided by Michael Dennis, there is a new version of the presentation that was revised on March 17, 2016. The most significant revision to the handout is on p. 22 for computing distance using the local geodetic horizon approach. He corrected minor math errors on that page and also changed and added additional information. You can download the handout here (PDF). There is an accompanying PowerPoint presentation, but is too large to attach. You can go to this link and download it here.
There is also a Certificate of Attendance you can download here.

What do you do when your horizontal control monuments are NAD 83 (1998), your field work is NAD 83 (2011) epoch 2010.00, and the client requires NAD 83 (1991) deliverables? Which geoid model should be used with the different horizontal datums? How do you set up a long-term project in light of the fact that new horizontal (geometric) and vertical datums will be defined and adopted by NGS within the next 8 years? How does all this work with the Oregon Coordinate Reference System low-distortion projections? What is the difference between NAD 83, IGS08, ITRF2008, and WGS 84? What software tools are available?
First come, first served for up to 150 registrants. Cost is $75 and includes buffet style lunch. Attendees will be emailed any handout materials a few weeks before the workshop and should be self-printed prior to your attendance. No handout materials will be provided at the workshop.
