Map Projections And Datums In New Zealand : Development And Applications
Paperback Edition: 1
This volume is a comprehensive and updated account of New Zealand map projections and datums. John Hannah's monograph covers the development of national mapping systems, starting with the National Yard Grids used from the 1930s, to the current NZTM2000 projection. There is a thorough detailing of the local meridional circuits underpinning the surveying coordinate systems used in this country. An accessible mathematical basis for the main projection types and specific conformal (shape-preserving) New Zealand projections is also provided. This is supplemented with an overview of offshore island, Pacific island, continental shelf and Antarctic projections. As such, this text is a valuable resource for students and practitioners of surveying, cartography and geospatial science in New Zealand.
