CSRC Mandate
Establish and maintain the California Spatial Reference
System - CSRS.
 Provide the necessary geodetic services to ensure the
availability of accurate, consistent, and timely spatial
referencing data.
 Monitor temporal changes in geodetic coordinates due to
tectonic motion, earthquakes, volcanic deformation and
land subsidence.
 Establish the legal spatial reference system for
California.

FY’05-’06 Research Objectives
What is the proper observation mix to maintain a modern height
network, and how should these measurements be optimally combined?
Observation types include continuous GPS (CGPS), field GPS surveys
at passive monuments, spirit leveling, and gravity surveys.
 What is the proper mix of geoid models and local corrector surfaces, in
converting from GPS-determined geodetic heights to orthometric
heights? What interpolation methods will provide the optimal corrector
surfaces?
 Can we apply and enhance modern IT methods to provide timely
access to height modernization information?
 How does one develop and implement a precise GIS for the purposes
of height modernization?
 How can real-time (RT) CGPS networks, such as those being created
in California, be best used to directly support height modernization and
spatial referencing?

CSRC Activity on
behalf of PBO
“Hi Bob,
Here is a list of action taken on
sites that you have done sitings
for. Several have been built (8),
several more are slated for
construction (4-6) and more are
in various stages of the process.
Several have also been
relocated for reasons ranging
from rejected permits to
subsidence. This is par for the
course. We would definitely not
be where we are at without your
significant efforts, Bob.
Regards,
Chris”

Education and Outreach
Objectives
• Keep CSRC members informed through regularly scheduled
meetings (Coordinating Council and Executive Committee).
• Inform others on the objectives and activities of CSRC by
participating in local meetings, conducting seminars, making
presentations, and make a presence at professional conferences.
• Support public resource code (PRC) legislation for orthometric
(vertical) and geodetic (horizontal) datums.
• Perform advocacy efforts to improve California’s spatial reference
system, by informing and discussing with public agencies (local,
state and federal) the benefits of, and funding needs for, a modern
California spatial reference system.
• Respond to general, day-to-day user inquiries in a timely manner.
Education and Outreach Examples
• Caltrans Task Order Kick Off Meeting
• GPS Users Group Meetings
• Northern San Joaquin Valley Project Meeting with Caltrans at
Stockton and Fresno Offices
• CLSA Conference: CLSA Workshop, exhibit booth
