2015 GPS Survey of the Denali Summit Elevation

April 14, 2016

Nic Kinsman, NGS, and Blaine Horner, CompassData, Inc.

In the summer of 2015, the highest mountain in North America, Denali (formerly Mt. McKinley), received a new official name in tandem with a resurvey of the summit elevation. This webinar will describe the project's motivation and partnerships, the 2015 survey expedition that established an updated height for Denali, and also the processing and geodetic considerations that went into determining this height. Expect to see many scenic images from the top of North America!

This presentation was given as part of the monthly NGS Webinar series.
