1 Experts in Geomatics, Surveying, Positioning, Geospatial Data, and Mapping Sciences Geodetic Integrity The Essential for Data Managers and Users March 13, 2013, Houston Michael Barnes APSG Foundation Chair APSG Chair

3 Contents Geodesy Class Fundamental Exploration Datasets (seismic, wells, boundaries) 3 geospatial data innovations you need to consider (satellite imagery, 3D printing, OGP area polygons) New Industry Standard: Geospatial Integrity of Geoscience Software (GIGS) Training Results Geodetic data handling 3
4 The 5 geodetic facts you need to know in Geospatial Data Management 1. Geodetic Datum 2. Map Projection 3. Vertical Reference 4. Reference Orientation 5. Unit of Measurement 4
5 Geodesy explained in 2 ½ minutes NASA created a cartoon called Looking Down a Well: A Brief History of Geodesy Geodesy is a field of study that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth, and it all started when a clever human named Eratosthenes discovered that you could measure the circumference of the Earth by looking down a well. Over time, the field of geodesy has expanded and evolved dramatically, and NASA uses technology like radio telescopes, ground surveys, and satellites to contribute! Learn more about geodesy in this video! 5
6 Geodetic Reference Surfaces h H N Normal to Ellipsoid Normal to Geoid N=h-H Ellipsoid Geoid Terrain b a Geoid Equipotential surface which approximates to MSL Ellipsoid Surface where Computations are made 1/f = a/(a-b) Source: APSG 6
7 Examples of Geodetic Horizontal Datums 7
8 How many geodetic datums? Review 8
9 Before GPS we had 130 years of geodetic surveying e.g. National Geodetic Survey of Nepal
10 Geodetic Survey Network Diagram 10
11 Creating geodetic datums was challenging work Source: Mick Paskin Nepal
12 One of 450 Geodetic Datums used Worldwide 12
13 Hierarchy of Geospatial Data and Mapping Ellipsoid λp Equator Yp Φp hp P Zp Xp Projected CRS is a derivative of the Datum (Geog CRS) Easting, Northing, Elevation (above MSL) stable Unstable w/o Datum Datum (ellipsoid & origin) is the Foundation X,Y,Z Cartesian and Lat, Long, Ht Source: APSG 13
14 What are the main map projections in use? Mercator Transverse Mercator Universal Transverse Mercator Lambert Conformal Conic Others less frequently: Stereographic, Oblique Stereographic, Oblique Mercator, et. al. 14
15 Height, elevation, vertical datum or what? Local Kelly-Bushing, ground level, sea level, and assorted other local references Geodetic Either directly or derived from Mean Sea Level at one or more points at some epoch examples: NGVD 29, NAVD 88, IGLD85, OSU91A, EGM96 Tidal Defined by direct observation of tidal variations over some period of time at a specific location (or locations) examples: MSL, LAT, MLLW, MLW, MHW, MHHW 15
16 Potential for confusion with Local Vertical Datum Source: UKOAA, now OGP 16
17 17
18 Reference orientations (5 kinds of north) True North = Direction of the meridian through a point Magnetic North = Differs from True North by declination and varies with time Grid North = Differs from True North by convergence Gyro North = a measurement of True North by instrument Plant North = strictly a local non-georeferenced orientation 18
19 Data handling of reference north From various well documents and databases Casing MWD: Magnetic (referenced to Magnetic North) Below Casing: Inertial (referenced to True or Gyro North) Rig orientation: (referenced to Grid N or True N?) When data are merged: Was the magnetic data adjusted to grid or true N? Has the rig orientation used the same North reference? Is all this documented for other departments / users? Do specifications lead to consistent results? Was there QC of the onsite methods and data? Is there a clear and informative report? What is the default north in your application? 19
20 Units of Measurement (13 kinds of feet and 2 kinds of meters in use) Reference Units: Biggest E&P Problem US Survey Foot vs. International Foot 1 ftus = ft (Intl), but this is still important for UTM, generating foot errors, depending on latitude Other Feet: Clarke s Foot, Sears 1922, 2 for Benoit (both 1895), Gold Coast Ft., 4 Indian Ft. (1865, 1937, 1962 & 1975) and 2 British Feet (1865 & 1935), 2 meters: International Meter and German Legal Meter Other linear units include Chains, Links, and Yards 20
21 If you remember nothing else.. Latitudes and Longitudes are not unique unless qualified with datum name Projection Coordinates are not unique unless qualified with Projection name, Zone and Datum Heights are not unique unless qualified with Surface Reference (Vertical Datum) Orientations are not unique unless qualified with Heading Reference Units are not unique unless qualified with Unit Reference 21
