Technical Session Topics

The Technical Session Committee invites you to submit abstracts for presentations or papers to be presented at the conference.  The primary categories are as follows:

Surveying & GIS The fields of surveying and GIS are strongly integrated.  Many GIS systems, especially local government projects, which are built on large-scale (1:2400 or larger) base maps rely on survey control networks for positional control.  Vertical accuracy can be critical for certain applications, particularly flooding.  Papers that describe survey issues relevant to GIS are sought.  Some suggested topics are: Using Survey Techniques to Control Aerial Mapping Projects Analyzing Survey Errors and the Use of Least Squares Adjustments Geodetic Control Network Design Horizontal and Vertical Datum Issues International Terrain Reference Frame (ITRF) Surveying and Cadastral Mapping Using Surveying Techniques for GIS Positional Accuracy Assessment
