NGS Regional Geodetic Advisors

The Regional Geodetic Advisor is a federal employee of NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The Advisor serves as a liaison between NGS and its public, academic and private sector constituents within their assigned region. They provide expert guidance and assistance to these constituents who are managing the geodetic component of geospatial activities that are tied to the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). Geodetic advisors serve as subject matter experts in geodesy and regional geodetic issues, collaborating internally across NGS and NOAA to further the organizations’ missions. They are to maintain awareness of current developments in geodetic science and technology, updates and improvements to geodetic reference systems, and application to geospatial activities. Recognizing that a Regional Advisor supports an entire region in which individual states may have local and unique geodetic needs or priorities, NGS recommends that each state identify someone to serve as a State Geodetic Coordinator.

Here is the current map and contact information for all of the current State Geodetic Coordinators.
