Land Surveying / GPS
Natural Resources Canada is engaged in developing and maintaining a reliable modern property rights infrastructure on Canada Lands, including Canada's offshore. As the foundation for Canada's positioning and navigation activities, the Earth Sciences Sector is responsible for providing fundamental reference values for latitude, longitude, height and gravity, including the Earth's orientation parameters and rotation rate in space.
