Newsflash!
GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)
The
material posted here reflects an initiative to frame a national program to promote and support the development of local and regional real-time GNSS infrastructure networks as an amenity for public and private applications. The articles, written by Gavin Shrock, PLS, Administrator of Washington State Reference Network, are not the work of AAGS and do not reflect an official position of AAGS on the initiative. However, AAGS does believe the concept deserves attention from members of the positioning and surveying community.
Summary
White paper
Newsflash!Phase I of the GITA/AAG Department of Labor High Growth Grant, Defining and Communicating Geospatial Technology Industry Workforce Demand, completed
Phase I was concerned with defining industry components, characteristics, and skills required to fill geospatial occupations. The major work efforts involved in this phase were two thought-leader roundtables held in Washington, D.C., development of on online feedback mechanism to gather responses to critical issues in defining the industry, and analysis of those responses. A detailed report on the findings of Phase I of the grant can be found at the project’s website, http://www.aag.org/giwis/.
The US Department of Labor is very interested in obtaining feedback from a broad spectrum of organizations and individuals that constitute the many varied elements of the geospatial community. The American Congress on Surveying and Mapping is one of the key organizations that DOL, GITA and AAG have included in the feedback process. A comments section is included on the website itself. You may also send responses and comments to Mary Ann Stewart, the GITA Project Manager for the grant, at mstewart@gita.org
