Workshop Description: VDatum is a free software developed by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to allow users to vertically transform geospatial data between tidal, orthometric, and ellipsoidal vertical datums. With the upcoming NSRS modernization and extended coverage for the Pacific regions, the goal of this one-day workshop is to educate and inform the community on the VDatum tool and online service. Presenters from NOAA's National Geodetic Survey (NGS) will provide an overview of the data collection, development, and usage of NOAA's VDatum transformation tool. The workshop will also include: 1) Background on reference systems used in the U.S and its territories, 2) Height relationships between geopotential, geometric and tidal datums, and 3) The VDatum workflow process from an end user perspective. Expected outcomes of this workshop will be insight into the field operations and research that goes into data collection, the use of GIS to help streamline operations and archiving, and a live demonstration on the usage of the tool. The presentations are designed to provide an introductory overview and will conclude with an open session where students and attendees can ask further questions about geodetic field equipment, GIS capabilities, and overall model and tool development.
