NGS Director, Juliana Blackwell, Presents Annual Update to Transportation Research Board
On Jan. 15, National Geodetic Survey Director, Juliana Blackwell, presented an annual update at the Transportation Research Board's (TRB) 92nd Annual Meeting in Washington, DC. A division of the National Research Council, the TRB conducts research to promote improved transportation nationwide. The presentation, "Latest Advancements at the National Geodetic Survey" will cover the status of the agency's products and services, including its new Geoid12A model, Gravity for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum (GRAV-D) Project, and other improvements. The TRB and other national transportation organizations, such as the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Highway Research Board, have a vested interest in this component of NOAA's work because accurate vertical and horizontal positions are critical to safe land and marine transportation.
