How do they match: Geodetic Surveyors

  • Measure large areas of the Earth's surface using satellite observations, global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), light detection and ranging (LIDAR), or related sources.

  • Calculate the exact horizontal and vertical position of points on the Earth's surface.
  • Compute horizontal and vertical coordinates of control networks, using direct leveling or other geodetic survey techniques, such as triangulation, trilateration, and traversing, to establish features of the Earth's surface.

  • Analyze operational data to evaluate operations, processes or products.
  • Maintain operational records or records systems.
  • Prepare operational reports.
  • Train personnel on proper operational procedures.
