If you attended the last meeting of the GPS group in Bend, you will recall the lively discussion that followed the presentation by Ron
Singh, Chief of Surveys/Geometronics Manager for ODOT. There was clearly
interest in the idea of changing the statewide coordinate system to improve
accuracies and provide better agreement of ground and grid distances.
We have put together a distinguished panel of experts in the
fields of geodesy, coordinate systems, and projections who will discuss the
various options that are available and look at ways to implement the
changes. Our speakers include Dave Minkel - NGS Advisor to
Arizona
, Michael Dennis - Geodetic Analysis, LLC, Jack Walker - Professor of Geomatics,
Oregon Institute of Technology, and Ron Singh - Chief of Surveys/Geometronics
Manager, Oregon Department of Transportation.
Whether you do surveying, engineering work, or bring it all
together in a GIS (Geographic Information System) you will want to attend this
workshop. You can help determine the direction the state will eventually
go on this important subject. Dont be left out; let your voice be heard
and your opinions be shared.
