Methods To Convert Local Sampling Coordinates Into Geographic Information System/Global Positioning Systems (Gis/Gps)-Compatible Coordinate Systems, Mark Rudnicki, Thomas H. Meyer Jan 2007

Methods To Convert Local Sampling Coordinates Into Geographic Information System/Global Positioning Systems (Gis/Gps)-Compatible Coordinate Systems, Mark Rudnicki, Thomas H. Meyer

Department of Natural Resources and the Environment Articles

Laying out a sampling transect in the field is a common task when researching natural systems and resources. With widespread availability of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), such as the US global positioning system (GPS), it is becoming more common to resurvey legacy transects to establish them in globally referenced coordinate systems such as geodetic latitude/longitude or planimetric systems such as the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) or the State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS). Transforming local coordinates into a globally referenced coordinate system allows (1) disparate legacy surveys to be combined into a common geographic information system (GIS) database, (2) new …
