In summary, the Louisiana Spatial Reference Center (LSRC) is improving geoid models by utilizing new data collection methods and advanced technology. These advancements allow for more accurate and precise measurements of the Earth's geoid, which is crucial for various applications such as flood mapping and navigation. The LSRC is also working on developing new models and updating existing ones to better account for changes in the Earth's surface over time. This will provide more reliable and up-to-date geoid data for Louisiana and other regions, leading to improved decision-making and planning.

I am the Surveyor in Residence at the Louisiana Spatial Reference Center at the Louisiana State University Center for GeoInformatics.
We maintain a GNSS reference network of over 100 CORS and are currently collecting GNSS, Absolute Gravity and Deflection of the Vertical data in hopes of developing an improved geoid model for Louisiana and the northern Gulf Coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
