4 Regional Partnership Pacific Sea Level Monitoring Project GNSS Station Tide Gauge Station
5 13 sites across the pacific 1 x permanent tide gauge at each, measuring local sea level 1 x Constant GNSS station at each, measuring local earth movement in an absolute coordinate system Regular levelling survey between the tide gauge and CGNSS station allow absolute determination of the vertical height of the tide gauges that measure sea level

21 Capacity Building Pacific Islands Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu Sustainable capacity - GNSS Surveys with PSLMP GNSS Survey Equipment
22 Pacific Geospatial & Surveying Council Independent regional body advancing geospatial and surveying standards and capacity Established in the margins of the GIS/RS User Conference in November 2014 Governed by the PGSC Charter endorsed by 11 Pacific Island governments Supported by PGSC Partnership Desk (SPC) For more info, visit:
23 PGSC Vision Sustainable development in the Pacific enabled by world class geospatial information and surveying services
24 PGSC Strategy 10-year regional plan for developing geospatial and surveying capacity Collaborative process Member ownership
25 Purpose Purpose 1. To demonstrate the critical nature of geospatial and surveying information and services and the development and maintenance of these services in the Pacific region; 2. To articulate the collaborative aspirations of the region s geospatial and surveying professionals in advancing capacity; 3. To guide the development of sustainable geospatial and surveying information and services in Pacific Island Countries & Territories, and; 4. To serve as an entry point for engagement with internal and external partners.
26 PGSC Strategy Goals 1. Leadership and Visibility The PGSC enables regional leadership, guidance and support for members to engage stakeholders and the community on geospatial and surveying activities. 2. Standards and Technology Countries across the region adopt a modern Geodetic Reference Frame (GRF) and improved technology underpinning geospatial systems and applications. 3. Sustainability Geospatial and surveying activities at the national and regional level are supported by a diverse and sustainable resource base. 4. Capacity Building The geospatial and surveying community is selfreliant with a culture supportive of learning innovation and gender equity.
