The world's largest global support network for land surveyors, Land Surveyors United, will once again be hosting Survey Earth in a Day. This event will continue in 2016 as an annual social surveying education experiment, with a mission to not only to learn more about the earth's surface but also monitor its changes over time, as a global community. Our results will help change the knowledge we currently have of the dynamics of the surface of the Earth.
Survey Earth in a Day is a celebration of the achievements of Land Surveyors and the Land Surveying Profession and Industry.

You can also submit a photo of your setup and data collection to http://landsurveyorsunited.com/photo or through the mobile interface of LSU at http://landsurveyorsunited.com/m for our Survey Earth Photo Contest which will be occurring at the same time as the event.
Agenda for June 21st 2016
Simply take a GPS reading at Noon. This can be at your home, office or jobsite. The goal is to have as many points around the world from as many locations as possible.
All data submitted to Survey Earth in a Day should be in RINEX format. If we all use the same format, it will be easier to post-process the data.
LSU will soon begin Live Q&A sessions with video on the SEIAD Google + Community in preparation of the event.
