Notă biografică
Jan Van Sickle has many years of experience in GIS, GPS, surveying, mapping and imagery. He began working with GPS in the early 1980s when he supervised control work using the Macrometer, an early commercial GPS receiver. He led the GIS department at Qwest Communications for the company’s 25,000-mile worldwide fiber optic network. He also led the team that built the GIS for natural gas gathering in the Barnett Shale. He has led nationwide seminars based on his three books, GPS and GNSS for Land Surveyors, Basic GIS Coordinates and Surveying Solved Problems. He led the team that collected, processed and reported control positions for more than 120 cities around the world for the ortho-rectification of satellite imagery now utilized in a global web utility. He managed the creation of control for the worldwide T&E sites for two major earth observation satellites which are used for frequent accuracy assessments. He created an imagery-based system of deriving road centerlines that meet the stringent Advanced Driver Assistance specifications and developed a method of forest inventory to help quantify that depleted resource in Armenia. He assisted the supervision of the first GPS survey of the Grand Canyon for the photogrammetric evaluation of sandbar erosion along the Colorado River. He has done 3D mapping with terrestrial photogrammetry and LIDAR as well as assisted with the Building Information Modeling for major buildings in Washington, DC. He was a member of the team of authors for the Geospatial Technology Competency Model for the Department of Labor. He has provided technical assistance in the reconstruction of the geodetic network of Nigeria. He has managed the gravity/magnetic and hyperspectral/multispectral analysis of Borzon VII, a concession block in the South Gobi in Mongolia. He contributed a chapter on Satellite-based Surveying Technology to the update of the more than 30-year-old American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Engineering Surveying Manual of Practice and course work on GNSS to the American Association for Geodetic Surveying (AAGS) Geodetic Certification Program. He has been a featured speaker at 50+ conferences including MAPPS, GITA and the Institute of Navigation (ION). He was a senior lecturer at Pennsylvania State University and at the University of Colorado at Denver. He was formerly on the board of RM-ASPRS, was the vice-chairman of GIS in the Rockies and was the founding chairman of the U.S. West chapter of the Americas Petroleum Survey Group. He earned his Ph.D. in geospatial engineering from the University of Colorado at Denver. He was the Chief Geodetic Scientist at Maxar and has been a licensed professional Land Surveyor for 46 years. He is currently licensed in Colorado, California, Oregon, Texas, North Dakota, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Descriere
The fourth edition of this popular book discusses important updates to surveying and mapping systems in North America. It provides current information, more practical exercises, and better explanations of recent changes and helps professionals and students understand modern surveying methods and stay compliant with new standards.
Recenzii
"Dr. Van Sickle has made yet another contribution to the field with this update on his popular book, Basic GIS Coordinates. As demonstrated with this book, he has a unique capability for explaining the complications and nuances of coordinate systems in an understandable manner. This book should have a prominent place in the library of the many people having a role in using coordinate systems for their work and everyday life."
—Lynn E. Johnson, University of Colorado, Denver, USA
"No GIS educator or practitioner should be without Basic GIS Coordinates. Jan Van Sickle explains some of our field’s most challenging, yet fundamental, concepts with unsurpassed clarity. His combination of long professional experience, deep study, and clear expression prepare him uniquely to create this invaluable reference work. Meanwhile, the impending replacement of North America’s primary horizontal and vertical datums add a new sense of urgency to this welcome 3rd edition."
—David DiBiase, Esri, Redlands, California, USA
"This book address the issue of accurately representing our 3D planet in a 2D forum. The author covers the traditional ways of representing location in X,Y, and Z space and the challenges with these techniques; and provides a comprehensive view of coordinate systems, datums, and other details associated with location description."
— Kumar Navulur, PhD, Frederick, Colorado, USA
"The Basic GIS Coordinates by Dr. Van Sickle has become a favorite book for many of my students. I would recommend this book to everybody who wants to learn the foundations of the coordinate systems, datums, and basic geodetic principals. There are several other books on this subject, but Basic GIS Coordinates stands above all of them for one simple reason: the genuine way of describing complex scientific principals in plain English without extensive heavy mathematics. I strongly recommend."
— Apostol Panayotov, University of Colorado, Denver, USA
"Basic GIS Coordinates is a ‘must have’ survival guide for everyone in this age of ubiquitous digital locations. Jan Van Sickle is the ultimate spatial adventurer with a lifetime of achievement who has ‘been there, done that, got the t-shirt and took a selfie.’ He informs, educates and guides the spatial consumer through the constructs, assumptions and limitations intrinsic to accurately representing the rough irregular surface of our 3-D world on flat 2-D surfaces, digital or otherwise. Navigating the uninitiated through key elements of coordinate systems, datums, reference frames, transformations, and earth models may loom daunting, but in Basic GIS Coordinates it is a pleasurable and enlightening journey. In stark contrast to the Alice in Wonderland truism ‘If you don’t know where you are going any road will get you there’, Jan Van Sickle clearly illuminates for the reader which road to pick, where it leads and how to consistently get there."

"As with previous editions of this fine book, the pithy opening sentence of the first chapter states, ‘Coordinates are slippery devils.’ And indeed, they are. Coordinates are fundamental to GIS, and to the widespread – and rapidly growing – arena of positioning-based products and services. A solid understanding of coordinates requires a working knowledge of the underlying geodetic principles. That is no simple thing, and Jan Van Sickle again succeeds in adroitly explaining such complex and subtle concepts. New to this third edition is the important and timely topic of replacing the existing U.S. datums with a modern dynamic system in 2022. Perhaps most remarkable is that so much material is capably explained in such a slender volume. An accessible and engaging style is augmented with numerous clean, clear illustrations. The result is a book that should have a prominent place in the library of GIS professionals. And despite the book’s title, it can serve as a valuable reference to geospatial practitioners in other fields, from surveying and engineering to photogrammetry and remote sensing. In short, it will find an audience with anyone who works with and wants a better understanding of those ‘slippery devils’ – coordinates."
