NSRS Modernization is Here: What Surveyors Need to Know Now

The National Spatial Reference System is undergoing its most significant transformation in 40 years, and the changes are coming fast. At Geo Week, NOAA updated the community on miletsones in its long-anticipated modernization of the NSRS, replacing NAD 83 and NAVD 88 with new terrestrial reference frames, a modernized geoid model, and improved transformation tools.

This is not a distant planning effort. It is happening now, and the implications extend across nearly every geospatial workflow. If you work with surveying data, geodetic control, GIS, mapping, infrastructure design, or engineering projects, this update will directly affect how you collect, reference, and deliver spatial data.

Join experts from NOAA's National Geodetic Survey and other experts involved in the modernization effort as they walk through the latest technical updates on NSRS modernization, including advancements in geodetic reference frames, updated survey standards, and enhanced positioning and measurement tools. You will come away with practical guidance for integrating modernized NSRS data into your workflows and a clear understanding of what to expect as the rollout progresses.

Whether you are a surveyor, GIS professional, engineer, or project manager who relies on accurate geospatial data, this is a webinar you cannot afford to miss.
