Continuing education (CE) is crucial for professional land surveyors to stay up-to-date with evolving technologies, legal standards, and industry best practices. However, not all surveyors learn in the same way. To maximize your learning, it’s essential to embrace different learning styles and use a variety of resources that cater to each. By tailoring your educational journey to your preferred learning style—whether visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or reading/writing—you can make your study…
Continuing education is essential for professional land surveyors to remain competitive, up-to-date with the latest technologies, and compliant with industry regulations. However, simply engaging in coursework or attending seminars may not be enough to truly master the necessary skills. To achieve meaningful improvement, surveyors should adopt deliberate practice, a structured approach to skill-building that focuses on specific areas of weakness, regular feedback, and continuous adaptation.…

Continuing education (CE) is vital for professional land surveyors to remain competitive, stay updated with advancements, and maintain licensure. However, ensuring that the knowledge gained from CE is retained and applied effectively requires more than just passive learning. One highly effective technique to achieve this is active recall. This method involves actively retrieving information from memory, which reinforces understanding and strengthens retention. For land surveyors, who need to…
The Impact of Land Surveying on the Great Kanto Earthquake of 192
I. Introduction
Overview of the Great Kanto Earthquake
On September 1, 1923, Japan experienced one of the most devastating natural disasters in its history: the Great Kanto Earthquake. The earthquake, which registered a magnitude of 7.9, struck the region around noon and wreaked havoc on Tokyo, Yokohama, and the surrounding Kanto region. While it was initially the shaking that caused buildings to collapse, much of the destruction…

Continuing education (CE) is a critical aspect of a professional land surveyor’s career, ensuring they remain proficient with the latest technologies, methods, and regulatory changes in the field. However, the breadth of topics covered in CE can sometimes feel overwhelming. To tackle this challenge, land surveyors can apply the chunking technique to break down large, complex subjects into more manageable, digestible parts. By organizing information into smaller, coherent units (or chunks), the…
Continuing education (CE) is crucial for professional land surveyors to stay current with the rapid advancements in technology, regulatory changes, and evolving best practices. While many surveyors follow a traditional learning path—focusing on one topic at a time—the interleaving technique offers a more effective approach. Interleaving involves mixing multiple topics or skills during study sessions, which encourages deeper understanding and long-term retention. For land surveyors, this…
Continuing education (CE) is an integral part of professional land surveying, ensuring that surveyors stay up-to-date with the latest technologies, legal regulations, and industry best practices. However, the challenge for many professionals is retaining vast amounts of information over time. A highly effective learning strategy that addresses this challenge is spaced repetition—a method designed to enhance long-term retention by systematically revisiting information at increasing intervals.…
Continuing education (CE) is vital for professional land surveyors to stay competitive and effective in a field that constantly evolves with new technologies, regulations, and industry standards. While most surveyors recognize the importance of ongoing learning, many struggle with fully grasping and retaining complex concepts. That’s where the Feynman Technique comes into play. Named after Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, this study technique is incredibly effective for…
Today's episode of "Surveyor Says! The NSPS Podcast" finds us talking with one of the legends in social media for surveyors, Justin Farrow, Founder of Land Surveyors United. Justin, along with collaborator Christopher Lucas and Texas RPLS Deward Bowles, joined Tim Burch to discuss the radical overhaul of the famous website. They spoke of providing educational resources and tools for every facet of surveying, so join us for a great conversation about how the future of sharing surveying…
Continuing education (CE) for professional land surveyors is not just a requirement to maintain licensure but a vital part of staying competitive in the field. The industry is constantly evolving with new technologies, regulatory changes, and ever-increasing client demands, making ongoing learning essential. However, time and resources for education are limited, so how can land surveyors ensure that their efforts yield the maximum benefit?

Overview of the Clinometer
The clinometer is a cornerstone tool in the field of land surveying, renowned for its simplicity, reliability, and versatility. At its core, the clinometer is an instrument designed to measure angles of slope, elevation, or depression relative to gravity. This fundamental capability allows surveyors to determine the inclination or declination of an object or surface, making it indispensable in various surveying tasks where precision is paramount.
