Links for "What does height really mean?" Presenstation and Fresno Conference

Post by Sunburned_Surveyor »

I thought I would quickly post the links to download the papers from Thomas Meyer's "What does height really mean?" presentation at the 49th CSUF Geomatics Conference that took place last weekend.

The 4 hour presentation by Mr. Meyer was one of the best explanations of some complex concepts related to the geoid that I have heard. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around some of it. I encourage you to read his paper on "What does height really mean?", even if you didn't get to attend the presentation.

If it all makes sense to you, please call and explain it to me. :]

Good job Mr. Meyer!

I agree. I was just saying how glad I had attended Tom Meyer's presentation. There were geodetic/geophysical concepts he covered that I didn't know and as the geodetic advisor, should! Thank you for providing the links; it's material I definitely want to revisit.

Yes it was a great presentation and those who did not attend the Fresno Conference, it always has great information, no to mention my doggy won me a new Schonstedt Mag. Locator, lol!

As for the presentation, my brain was on overload listening to him talk on geophysisis (sp) and such too. Lots of great info and since I couldn't stay for the entire presentation (due to breakdown of the MDSHS Exhibit), thanks for the link.
