How to Transition to the 2022 National Coordinate System
Without Getting Left Behind
Edward E. Carlson
NOAA, National Geodetic SurveyPacific Region Geodetic Advisor
The bottom lineIf you do geospatial work in the United States and its territories, and you work in the National Spatial Reference System, then every product you’ve ever made…
– every survey– every map– every lidar point cloud– every image– every DEM
… WILL have NEW coordinates in 2022.
I will talk about what this means, why it is happening, and how you can prepare.
Role of NSRS• The National Spatial Reference
System is the fundamental geodeticcontrol for the United States. (Latitudes, Longitudes, Heights)
• A geodetic datum is an abstractcoordinate system with a referencesurface (such as sea level) thatserves to provide known locations tobegin surveys and create maps.
• Geodetic control provides a common reference system for establishing coordinates for all geographic dataon geodetic datum.
• All National Spatial Data Infrastructure framework data and users' applicationsdata require geodetic control toaccurately register spatial data.
Who and What• The National Geodetic Survey, the federal agency
responsible for establishing and maintain the positioning framework to support all federal civilian mapping and charting in the United States, is modernizing the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS).
• What does this mean? – All horizontal and vertical datums in the NSRS (NAD 83…),
NAVD88,GUVD04, etc.) will be updated with: • Four (4) new Terrestrial Reference Frames of 2022• North American-Pacific Geopotential Datum of 2022
– New tools, products, services, and methodologies will be developed jointly to support the transition and access to an improved, modernized NSRS.
Why and When• Why?
– The current national datums (NAD 83 and NAVD 88) were established in the 1980s, before GPS technology revolutionized surveying and positioning.
– The current datums have errors exceeding 1 meter. – Modernization of the NSRS is driven by advancements in
technology (GNSS) and is designed to support future growth. “Positioning America for the Future”
• When? By December 31, 2022 • Will it be an immediate or gradual change?
Immediate!!!!!
“Modernizing the NSRS” means…
• Replacing the current horizontal datums (NAD 83)
• Replacing the current vertical datums (NAVD 88….)
• Improving data submission and data access
• Improving online tools
• Updating survey methodologies

• Replace the Vertical Datum of the USA by 2022 (at today’s funding) with a gravimetric geoid accurate to 1 cm
• Orthometric heights accessed via GNSS accurate to 2 cm
• Three thrusts of project:– Airborne gravity survey of entire
country and its holdings– Long-term monitoring of geoid
change– Partnership surveys
• Working to launch a collaborative effort with the USGS for simultaneous magnetic measurement

NOAA/FEMA Coordination
Cooperative Pilot Study (2011):• National Geodetic Survey,• North Carolina Floodplain
Mapping Program,• North Carolina Geodetic
Survey, and • Federal Emergency
Management Agency
Key Outcomes:• Recommendation of FEMA
implementation plan to account for coordinate and height shifts.
• Improved relative positional accuracies and greater understanding of height uncertainties will enhance quality of flood mapping.

What life will be like in the future
Revolutionize professional surveying• No more need for installing and locating bench marks• Absolute, consistent positioning, anywhere
Vastly improved flood plain mapping• Water flows due to differences in gravity • Critically important in low-lying, flat communities
Impacts on infrastructureAny application requiring precise positioning -- bridges, tunnels, railways, agriculture, navigation -- will be easierand more accurate
Fundamental support for new technologies• “Smart Highways” for autonomous vehicles

What to do with historic maps/charts?
Is the accuracy expected to be
better than a few meters? Stop. You won’t
likely gain much by transforming
Do you have trusted metadata which puts the map/chart in the NSRS?
NoYes
Stop. Transformation tools only work in the NSRS and
only if you trust the metadata
No
Use NCAT to update the datums in 2022
Yes

What can everyone do?
• Be aware and help spread the word about upcoming NSRS modernization:– Proactively ask agencies, surveyors, and engineers
about what preparations they are taking to learn about and prepare for the upcoming changes
• Reach out to NGS for support as needed• Lead by example and exercise best metadata
