Introduction
A Professional Surveyor, consultant, board member PLSSF Fellow, AAGS NSPS & AAGD. Past President LSPS, working at the Louisiana Spatial Reference Center (LSRC) / LSU Center for GeoInformatics (C4G). C4G operates over 120 CORS and an RTN covering Louisiana & the Gulf Coast, providing connection to the US NSRS to improve the geoid model using GNSS, precise leveling, deflection of the vertical, InSAR, and absolute gravimetry.

Deltaic floodplains are highly vulnerable to relative sea level rise (RSLR) depending on the sediment supply from river channels that provides elevation capital as adaptation mechanism. In river channels where levees have restricted sediment supply to coastal deltaic floodplains, river sediment diversions have been proposed as a restoration strateg...
In this study, the terrestrial and marine gravity data sets undergo refinement and validation for the sake of precise geoid determination in Louisiana. The erroneous gravity data represent the main source of errors that can easily propagate into the geoid if not refined and eliminated. The purpose of this study is to ensure the integrity of the rel...

Accurate, reliable, and consistent elevation information contributes to informed decisions for a wide range of important activities, including mapping and charting, determining flood risk, transportation, land use planning and management, environmental management, economic development, coastal sustainability, and engineering design.

New, more efficient methods of measuring road surfaces, including using moving vehicles, are being developed and deployed. Testing the veracity of such data presents its own problems. Busy, heavily traveled highways do not lend themselves to easy occupation for careful measurements by conventional means. The advent of GULFNet by the Louisiana State...
A state-wide digital elevation model (DEM; www.atlas.lsu.edu) based on 1999-2002 LiDAR data is widely used in assessing present and future flooding potential in New Orleans and southeast Louisiana due to storm surge. Although the data were acquired during a time when official vertical controls had been deemed unreliable due to subsidence, the DEM c...
