On the day of the solstice June 21 2013, geospatial professionals around the world and members of Land Surveyors United (a global support network for land surveyors) will be simultaneously recording survey grade GPS data from thousands of points around the globe, in order to gain a more accurate understanding of the earth's surface. This will be Survey Earth in a Day 2.0!

Reply by ePalmetto on April 3, 2013 at 5:10pm: 1.) In order to participate in Survey Earth in a Day 2.0, you must have access to Survey Grade GPS equipment and data collection device. We are interested only in data from devices which produce high accuracy results. No Cellphone or other GPS device is acceptable.

2.)All data submitted to Survey Earth in a Day will be post-processed using RINEX. You can send us the raw data through the provided interface. If you plan to host a team of co-workers or student surveyors you can zip the data and send it to [email protected]

3.) You can also submit a photo of your setup and data collection to http://landsurveyorsunited.com/photo or through the mobile interface of LSU at http://landsurveyorsunited.com/m for our Survey Earth Photo Contest which will be occurring at the same time as the event.

WOW.... if you aren't interested in performing this simple task on behalf of your profession and fellow land surveyors then you must not be interested in the future of the profession and educating the public on the importance of land surveyors.
