Greater Princeton AYLUS (GPA) members teamed up and registered with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to become official volunteers for the USGS National Map Corps (TNMCorps, https://edits.nationalmap.gov/tnmcorps/).
TNMCorps is a community of volunteers who review and confirm the data of the structures that are going into The National Map, including the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. On its March Newsletters, GPA members Amber Yu, Catherine Feng, and Ryan Tian were acknowledged for their volunteer editing efforts.
Following the work of Amber Yu and Catherine Feng, Ryan Tian has also entered the Order of the Surveyor’s Chain (25-49), and the Society of the Steel Tape (50-99). USGS sent Ryan two recognition letters regarding his volunteer service. Congratulations, Ryan Tian! The points that Ryan has edited would add 2 hours to his community service time.
GPA encourages other volunteers to follow Amber Yu, Catherine Feng, and Ryan Tian’s successful editing experience, so that we keep pushing our “Online Map Editing” Project forward.
