This article was forwarded to me from Dana Caccamise, the Pacific Southwest Regional Advisor (CA, NV) at NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey (NGS). In the ever-changing geo-political world we live in, it brings to light how our global GPS reliance is based upon a largely voluntary sharing of information between countries throughout the planet.

This article highlights a vital message: in today’s world, GPS/GNSS is a basic necessity—just like the Internet. Our society faces growing environmental challenges that demand a deep understanding of high-precision geodetic measurements. The more openly we share GNSS data, the more we advance global sustainability efforts and improve our ability to respond to climate crises like sea-level rise and coastal vulnerability. International cooperation in geodesy is not just technical—it’s essential for our collective future. Grateful to Dana Caccamise for sharing this important read.
