Height Modernization Outreach and Education
Outreach, education, and capacity building are important components of the National Height Modernization Program (NHMP). The NHMP regularly participates in national or regional conferences, hosts a monthly teleconference for the exchange of ideas, and develops outreach materials.
Outreach materials have been created to educate people about the National Height Modernization Program by NOAA, the National Ocean Service (NOS), and NGS. Many resources are listed below. You can also visit the NGS Corbin Training Center web-page, or contact us if you have more questions or need further assistance.
