GEODESY
Imagine the Possibilities
A brochure (in pdf format) explaining the role of geodesy in contemporary America. "Geodesy shapes our lives today through a combination of three innovative tools: the Global Positioning System (GPS), which supplies the coordinates; NOAA's National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), which gives the GPS coordinates integrity; and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which make the coordinates useful."
As our society and economy become increasingly dependent on complex technologies,
the need for precise positioning and consistent, reliable data intensifies.
