The New York State GIS Association invites you to attend an upcoming webinar “New Datums in 2022 – Replacing NAD 83 and NAVD 88” presented by Dan Martin on Tuesday May 21, 2019. Dan Martin works for the National Geodetic Survey and is the Northeast Regional Geodetic Advisor.

Date: Tuesday, May 21, 2019 — Time: 12pm-1pm

Abstract: In 2022, NGS will be replacing the US horizontal and vertical datums (NAD 83 and NAVD 88).  In this talk we will review the need and process for these changes.  We will begin with a brief discussion of the history of the North American Datum of 1983 and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988, and the reasons for their ongoing evolution.  We will then discuss what activities are being undertaken to ensure a smooth transition to include new State Plane Coordinates.
