Upcoming Survey Quarterly Articles on the Geodetic System

30 September 2009

LINZ will be publishing a new series of articles in Survey Quarterly, as part of an educational and informative programme on the role and functions of the geodetic system. There is a lot happening at LINZ in this area, and new articles will be featured in each quarter.

These articles will describe the geodetic system in New Zealand, its components, the annual maintenance and survey of control marks, and potential future developments of the survey control system. The focus will be on geodesy in New Zealand since the formation of LINZ in 1996.

The first article – The New Zealand Geodetic System Part 1 - Introduction and Overview (PDF 1.1MB) – is an introduction to New Zealand’s geodetic system, and an overview of forthcoming articles. This article appears in the September issue of Survey Quarterly.

Future articles will cover:

• control system surveying and maintenance
• protection of control marks
• control system data and Landonline
• survey control networks
• PositioNZ network
• the geodetic system and the cadastre
• future developments.

All articles will be available on this website under geodetic general publications.
