<br />34 <br /> <br />studies approyed by the Adaptive Management Program are archived for quality assurance, <br />quality control, network adjustment, and database integration. <br />The survey department provides network control point coordinates and error estimates, <br />QAJQC for remote sensing, topographic and hydrographic maps, and the additional manpower <br />necessary to collect these data. The survey department staff also incorporates historical datasets <br />that had been previously referenced to superceded or local control coordinates into the CRE <br />database. This integration requires translation and rotation of the instrument and reference <br />azimuth stations to match the most current coordinates, which reference the primary geodetic <br />control network. <br />The survey department is familiar with data collection and processing of topographic, <br />hydrographic, and geodetic data. Specific equipment available to researchers includes static, <br />kinematic, and Real Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Positioning Systems, single-beam and multi- <br />beam hydrography, acoustic Doppler sensors, laser scanners and conventional survey equipment. <br />The Survey coordinator assesses the level of survey support required to efficiently implement <br />individual studies and evaluates and schedules equipment and personnel requests. <br /> <br />Technical Support Coordination - Integration of support capabilities in the areas of GIS <br /> <br />and Remote Sensing is critical to the success of scientific data collection and integration for all <br /> <br />of GCMRC's research and monitoring projects. Technical Support Coordination requires <br /> <br />effective communication with Researchers, Program Managers and GIS and DASA personnel to <br /> <br />facilitate collection and delivery ofinfonnation that complies with GCMRC Data Standards. <br /> <br />Coordination entails evaluation of requests and scheduling of the appropriate equipment, <br /> <br />materials, services and personnel required to implement research activities. Examples of <br /> <br />Technical Support requests include: <br /> <br />. Copies of existing map products and aerial photo sets. <br />· Processing requests to GIS for new map products. <br />· Scheduling Field Equipment (i.e. Computers, handheld GPS units, digital cameras, <br />etc.). <br />· Scheduling personnel required to assist with field work. <br />· Consultation with GIS personnel for recommendations on data collection methods to <br />achieve effective integration with the GIS. <br />· Consultation with Data Base personnel for advice on data collection formatting to <br />achieve effective integration with the GCMRC Data Base. <br /> <br />GCMRC FY2005-2006 Draft Annual Work Plan (November 10, 2003) <br />
