AGENDA FOR JUNE 21
@ NOON: Simply take a GNSS reading at Noon. This can be at your home, office or jobsite. The goal is to have as many points around the world from as many locations as possible.
All data submitted to Survey Earth in a Day should be in RINEX format. If we all use the same format, it will be easier to post-process the data.
LSU will soon begin Live Q&A sessions with video on the SEIAD Google + Community in preparation of the event.
This will all occur at 12:00 Noon in all locations across earth.

WOW.. this is EXACTLY what the industry needs...i've been out of the loop but i truly appreciate this effort and my crew and i will certainly participate... so glad you're continuing to promote this Land Surveyors United..great work!
Thanks for asking James The form to submit data will be placed here tonight at midnight and should be filled out with data collected at the point @Noon in your location. When we recieve all the data from around the world it will be georeferenced and processed into a map layer, which will be layered on top of the data from the previous two years. Depending on how many submissions we have from the same point, we may even be able to see changes in earths surface over the course of 3 years..
If you are reading this, be sure to leave a comment here so you get the email notice when the official form is posted Saturday Morning...feel free to ask any questions you might have..looking forward to the big day!
