Geodetic and Hydrographic Surveys
11.400
Two programs exist in this CFDA: A.The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) is a program office within the National Ocean Service (NOS) that provides the authoritative coordinate system for all positioning activities in the Nation. Known as the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), NGS’ authoritative coordinate system defines latitude, longitude, height, gravity, and shoreline information, which supports a wide range of important activities, including mapping and charting, navigation, transportation, infrastructure, flood risk determination, national security, and environmental observations. NGS also develops industry guidelines, specifications, and standards and provides training for surveyors, mapping professionals, scientists and other users of the NSRS. B. Joint Ocean and Coastal Mapping Centers are authorized in the Ocean and Coastal Mapping Integration Act to advance the purposes of the Acts including research and development of hydrographic technologies necessary to ensure safe and efficient navigation; research and development of innovative ocean and coastal mapping technologies, equipment, and data products; mapping of the United States Outer Continental Shelf and other regions; data processing for nontraditional data and uses; advancing the use of remote sensing technologies, for related issues, including mapping and assessment of essential fish habitat and of coral resources, ocean observations, and ocean exploration; and providing graduate education and training in ocean and coastal mapping sciences. The goals of this financial assistance listing are 1. To conduct research in the field of geodesy and improve applications of geodesy and the National Spatial Reference System 2. To improve the techniques and technology of geodetic and hydrographic surveys and related data, products, and services 3. Extend the National Spatial Reference System into areas not adequately covered to meet infrastructure needs. 4. To educate and provide outreach to the public on applications of geodesy, hydrography and related data products, and services

$1,839,836 *Enhanced the geodetic infrastructure by integrating the vertical control established by a regional network of Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) sites with tide gauges located along the northern Gulf coast.
*Conducted several geospatial workshops and trainings in the gulf coast region.
*Performed QA/QC of Lidar pilot projects in the gulf coast region.
*Continued the densification and lifecycle replacement of CORS throughout the Gulf Coast region.
For JHC, FY 2014-Improved technology for seafloor characterization and habitat mapping using multibeam echo sounders, airborne lidar, and satellite imagery. FY 15 Transitioned technology for multi-resolution grids to private sector for incorporation into operational hydrographic software, and developed improved concepts for visualization of currents on electronic graphic displays. FY 16 JHC will investigate improvements in autonomous technology for hydrographic surveying, and use of scanning lidars for coastal feature mapping.
