This reports details the current geodetic activities of Land Information NZ in the Ross Dependency and summaries the work of other New Zealand and overseas agencies.

This paper gives a status report on collecting gravity data by airborne methods, looking particularly at issues such as techniques, data densities, accuracies, and costs. The overall goal is one of assessing the applicability of this technique to the New Zealand situation.

The following document is a scanned image of a paper published in Survey Review XXII, 168, April 1973. It is published here with the permission of Dr. Ian Reilly and describes the theory and methodology behind the development of the New Zealand Map Grid.

This factsheet describes the New Zealand Vertical Datum 2009 (NZVD2009) that is based on the New Zealand Quasigeoid 2009 (NZGeoid2009).

This fact sheet covers how LINZ describes the accuracy of coordinate data. It explains the terms network and local accuracy and shows how they have been implemented in LINZ to give coordinate accuracy classifications called orders.

The Surveyor-General has issued a standard that specifies the requirements for the New Zealand survey control system (LINZS25003).

This fact sheet explains how to convert geographic coordinates to and from the Transverse Mercator and Lambert Conformal Conic projections.

This document is issued by the Office of the Surveyor-General to: document proposals for development of NZGD2000 meridional circuits; obtain approval for the implementation of NZGD2000 meridional circuits.

This report looks at the options for vertical datum development in New Zealand.

This report has been compiled by the Surveyor-General, Land Information New Zealand, on behalf of the Geosciences Standing Committee of the Royal Society of New Zealand for the General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics, Birmingham, England, August 1999. It presents the New Zealand geodetic operations from 1995-1998.

Land Information New Zealand has implemented a new national geodetic datum, New Zealand Geodetic Datum 2000 (NZGD2000). NZGD2000 replaces Chatham Islands 1979 datum and New Zealand Geodetic Datum 1949 (NZGD49).

In November 2000 a new datum, Ross Sea Region Geodetic Datum 2000 (RSRGD2000) was realised for the Ross Island area of the Ross Sea Region of Antarctica. This report details the parameters for, and realisation of, RSRGD2000.

With the planned release of the PositioNZ-PP on-line GPS procession tool, LINZ requires updated models to predict forward the position of each of the continuous GPS reference stations of the PositioNZ network and transformation parameters between NZGD2000 and the current GNSS reference frame. This report summarizes the results of Otago University School work in these two areas.

This guideline outlines the technical requirements for supply of GNSS Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) metadata and RINEX (Receiver Independent Exchange Format) data files to Toitū Te Whenua.

This guideline provides instructions for the use of CSV (Comma-separated values) in SNAP (Survey Network Adjustment Package). SNAP is a suite of programs for adjusting the coordinates in a survey network to best fit the observed data.

This specification is an extract of the sections titled ‘Contract Deliverables’ from the Specifications for Geodetic Physical Network Version 1.13 published in November 2006 and Specifications for Geodetic Control Survey Version 1.3 published in November 2006.

This document is issued by the Office of Surveyor-General to document proposals for geodetic datum development.

GNSS equipment manufacturers, applications developers, and End-Users should use this document to implement the SouthPAN DAS from SouthPAN on their devices.

GNSS equipment manufacturers, applications developers, and End-Users should use this document to implement the early Open Services from SouthPAN on their devices.

The standard defines several map projections in terms of the Ross Sea Region Geodetic Datum 2000. These projections are used by Land Information New Zealand for topographic mapping in the Ross Sea Region of Antarctica. They can also be used by other people and organisations for the provision and display of geospatial data within the Ross Sea Region.

This document describes the background to the Ross Sea Region Projections standard and also describes other projections that are used in Antarctica.

A national geodetic system and its associated national survey control system are fundamental components of a nation’s infrastructure.

This standard defines several map projections in terms of the New Zealand Geodetic Datum 2000. These projections can be used for the provision and display of cadastral, topographic, and hydrographic data for New Zealand, its offshore islands, and continental shelf.

The Surveyor-General had a milestone (2j) to ‘investigate options for automated processing to monitor data from the GPS continuous tracking network by 31 March 2003’. This report addresses this milestone and considers future enhancements to the PositioNZ network, in particular the various options for automated and real time processing of GPS data from the network, and makes recommendations for future development.

This specification was developed for use by contracting organisations when providing geodetic maintenance services for Toitū Te Whenua.

This report presents the geodetic activities in New Zealand (NZ) for the period 2007–2010. Presented at the 2011 IUGG General Assembly, Melbourne Australia.

The New Zealand Positioning Strategy sets the strategic direction for how the geodetic system will be developed within the broader positioning fundamental data theme for the next 10 years (2014-2024). This strategy builds on previous geodetic strategies and aligns with LINZ’s 10 year vision that ‘the power of where’ drives New Zealand’s success.

This report reviews the relative merits of retaining the NZMG or of changing to another projection.

The purpose of this Strategic Business Plan is to articulate a vision and plan for the development of the geodetic system.

The New Zealand Map Grid (NZMG) is a projection that is used to convert latitudes and longitudes to easting and northing coordinates used for most mapping of New Zealand. The projection is unique to New Zealand.
