@rmathematicus I used Picard’s triangulation from Paris to Amiens as the baseline for the practice, through to its disruption by Roy late in the 18c, in my entry on “Geodetic Surveying in the Enlightenment,” in Volume Four of *The History of Cartography*

FWIW yesterday I OK'ed that the public facing part of the project can be sunsetted. Nobody was using it, AFAIK. If anybody wants to have a last fast look at the 19th c. minutes of the International Geodetic Ass with a cool search interface, they probably should best do it now: measuring-the-earth.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/. The pdfs of scans will remain available on the MPWIG digital library: measuring.earth/minutes. I'll get a dump of the txt files and may set them up elsewhere as a coherent corpus if somebody feels like playing on it with DH tools. Follow for updates.

Multiple National Geodetic Survey (NGS) sessions today at the FIG - International Federation of Surveyors Working Week 2023. NGS Training Coordinator Erika Little presents on new training options, for example the transition from mandatory instructor lead OPUS Projects courses to self-paced online as an option. @xyht @GoGeomatics

In 1671, Jean Richer was the first to observe that earth’s gravity was not uniform. Isaac Newton later drew the obvious conclusion. (sharpgiving.com/thebookofscien)
