The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Antarctic Research Program isan integral part of operations and research in the Antarctic. Thegroup performs research and provides support in the areas of aerialphotography, mapping, geodesy, geographic information systemsand information/data dissemination. During the Austral summer,teams are regularly sent to the continent to collect data and assistwith specific projects. Historically USGS has provided supportthrough the production of standard mapping products for most ofthe Transantarctic Mountains at 1:250,000 scale, extensivesurveying projects and collection of aerial photography to supportthe mapping program. During the last few years the program hasinstalled year-round geodetic control stations at populated andremote sites, collected lidar elevation data, and digitalphotography at very high resolutions, collected aerial photographyto support topographic mapping, generated satellite image mapsfrom a variety of sources, generated web based information/datadistribution sites, and implemented international partnerships toenhance the collection of information vital to the US AntarcticResearch Program funded by the National Science Foundation.

This session will address the general program goals and itsspecific activities including mapping, geodesy, geographicinformation systems and information/data dissemination.

Recently remote sensing systems have improved inseveral ways that require new computational power tofully exploit them. Thus, while the increased number ofsatellites generating data, enhanced spatialinformation, new problem sets that can now beconsidered, increased frequency of data collection,and increased image quality, greatly increases theopportunities for the remote sensing community, thesesame factors imply increased computational burdens instorage, bandwidth, and display. From a remotesensing application point of view, the idea developedby the computer science community of using COTS(commercial off-the-shelf) computer equipmentclustered together to work as a computational ‘team’is an attractive solution to meeting these pressing newcomputation demands. This and related concerns willbe reviewed in this session.Pr

The USGS and its partners, NASA,Pictometry, and The OSU are working towardestablishing new techniques and alternative methodsfor calibrating or characterizing digital cameras.Pictometry will provide an overview of the system theyare providing to the USGS for performing laboratory-type calibrations of digital cameras similar to analogcameras. The OSU will discuss the use of in-situmethods for performing similar camera calibrationsand compare it with laboratory calibrations. NASA willprovide a summary of its work with several cameramanufacturers on characterizing digital orthophotoproducts acquired with digital sensors. Finally, theUSGS will discuss the approach and time frame forestablishing policies and standards for digital cameracalibration.

The Alaska Cadastral Project was set up by the AlaskaGeographic Data Committee to receive and disperse$1,500,000 appropriated by Congress for the purposeof implementing the Western Governors Association(WGA) Geographic Information Council directives. TheWGA directed GCDB to coordinate and implementpubic and private participation in modernizing localland records systems and improving land parceldatabases. In order to accomplish this task BLM andthe Alaska State Department of Natural Resources(DNR) formed the Alaska Cadastral project. BLM andDNR hosted a series of meetings with localgovernments and Tribal organizations throughout thestate. The result of these meetings was the submissionof several grant proposals to the Alaska CadastralProject Steering Committee. The committee selected12 separate projects to fund. From those 12 projectswe have selected four papers to present to representthe Alaska Cadastral Project.

The National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) concept wasconceived in 1993 by the Mapping Science Committee of theNational Academy of Sciences in order to foster morecoordination and data sharing within government. In 1994,Presidental Executive Order 12906 was issued and mandatedthe development of the NSDI and further chartered the FederalGeographic Data Committee (FGDC) to lead and coordinate thedevelopment, and to involve the non-Federal sector in this effort.Cooperation and partnerships have been essential for thedevelopment of the NNSDI. This session will look at the growthof the NSDI and present highlights of some current collaborativeefforts.
