Oregon GPS workshop

I am posting an early announcement of the Oregon GPS User's Group, OGUG, March 10 , 2016 workshop.

Space, Time, and Datum Forensics: A Geodetic Workshop
By
Michael Dennis
and sponsored by
The Oregon GPS User‰Ûªs Group

What do you do when your horizontal control monuments are NAD 83 (1998), your field work is NAD 83 (2011) epoch 2010.00, and the client requires NAD 83 (1991) deliverables? Which geoid model should be used with the different horizontal datums? How do you set up a long-term project in light of the fact that new horizontal (geometric) and vertical datums will be defined and adopted by NGS within the next 8 years? How does all this work with the Oregon Coordinate Reference System low-distortion projections? What is the difference between NAD 83, IGS08, ITRF2008, and WGS 84? What software tools are available?
For the answers to these and many more questions, Michael Dennis will be presenting an all day workshop:
When: Thursday, March 10, 2016 7:30am-4:30pm
Where: NW Eola Viticulture Center of Chemeketa C.C.

Michael L. Dennis, RLS, PE, is owner of Geodetic Analysis, LLC. His firm provides geodetic and GIS consulting services, including coordinate system design, GNSS processing, control network adjustments, and survey-GIS data integration. Mr. Dennis is also a geodesist at the National Geodetic Survey currently on leave while pursuing a PhD in geomatics engineering and GIS at Oregon State University. While at NGS, Mr. Dennis managed the National Adjustment of 2011 Project, and as a consultant he was instrumental in helping define the low distortion projections used for the Oregon Coordinate Reference System.
