Updates & Upgrades

In this week’s Professional Land Surveyor Weekly Roundup, I want to explain a few site upgrades in addition to this week’s summary.

If you are a regular visitor here, you’ve no doubt noticed a new look. You also might have found some of the site features updated, too. What’s happening, simply is that we are performing a major upgrade to the site software. It, no doubt, will take us some time to make every necessary update and upgrade, but we will try to keep the inconveniences to a minimum. All will be soon in order.

But there’s more: Seeing as we were already upgrading the site software, we decided this was the time to improve the site look and function, too. So, don’t be surprised to see a new look and layout rolling out this week. When all is said and done, we’re confident you will find the new updates, upgrades, and look well worth a few hiccups while we make these improvements.

NOAA Vertical Datum Transformation tool

NOAA’s just-completed first edition VDatum tool will allow users to combine and transform geospatial data from different sources onto a single vertical  reference surface, removing the largest obstacle GIS users face when creating products that enable safe navigation and serve other vital purposes for coastal communities.

The Vertical Datum Transformation tool, known as VDatum, allows users to produce a set of consistent geospatial data over coastal and interior areas of the contiguous U.S., removing the differences between the vertical reference systems of land- and water-based data. Information about where the water meets the land becomes increasingly important when talking about sea level change and climate change, and is essential to the safety and economic vitality of coastal communities.
