November 15, 2007 - LSU C4G is happy to announce that the LSU GULFNet system of Continually Operating GPS Reference Stations (CORS) is ready for the next step of sophistication serving the aims of research in surveying, geology, subsidence, hurricane safety engineering and more. GULFNet can now provide real-time data for use by surveyors and others with appropriate equipment to further enable uniform ties to the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) in Louisiana. The service will begin official operation January 1, 2008.

LSU GULFNet presently consists of over forty CORS distributed throughout the state. Thirty stations covering the southern portion of the state form the initial LSU C4G GULFNet Real-Time System (GRTS). The second phase will see the total number of station grow beyond fifty. GRTS will cover the whole state and support for the GLONASS satellite system will be added.
