Over the years, we have tried to make note of important milestones and markers in our community development.  But as one surveyor who recently wrote in points out "It would be great if we could view all of the milestones at a glance."  Well, of course you could view them all inside the about page on our Facebook Page but if you are not on facebook this would be difficult.  So today I decided…

When I started my career, I have been attracted by one (of many) question : how accurate is the surface/volume calculations knowing the uncertainties of the points that define these geometrical figures. I really wanted to know in term of standard deviation what would be the "end results".

The solution was to propagate the variances (standard deviation squared) into the functional model (the…

One of the typical survey method for determining station's points and survey details has been the traverse method. There have been considerable discussions on the way to "adjust" angles and distances and lot of rules of thumb while rigorous Least Squares Adjustment softwares are available anywhere.

I would say "too much" talks and controversial exchanges for a method that is simply not appropriated anymore considering modern instruments. Long traverses (geodetic) have been…
