This area is 72.35% of the land surveyed, or 60.55% of the total 50-state area excluding the outlying areas (938.50 million ha). The federal land, water, and developed land areas are 17.43, 2.14, and 3.34% of the total 50-state area, respectively. 

In Sweden, the National Land Survey of Sweden has made different kinds of precise levelings with different epochs and different zero datum. The latest one has ended with the new height system RH2000 with the zero point NAP (Deltawerken, 2004 Wikipedia, 2007). It is made according to EVRS 2000 (Ihde, 2004 EVRS, 2007) and in cooperation with the other Nordic countries (Norin, 2006).

It is ironic that the first instance where Euclidean geometry proved inadequate was in land surveying, the initial purpose of geometry. Later came the need of Renaissance artists to make perspective drawings. During the same era the inability of the natural number system to avoid infinity singularities...

Laud Surveying. Land surveying pertains to the measuring and documentation of property lines, streets and alleys, subdivisions and lots within a city or a village. The map of the area is called a plat, which forms the legal document in ownership transactions. 

As it would normally take far too long to build a plant of such dimensions various steps were taken to start production within six months. The land survey, the design of the buildings, the delivery of building materials, and the construction were all carried out at the same time. Altogether seven companies were chosen, most of them based in Berlin. Each in turn selected local sub-contractors for the delivery of materials and the provision of labour. 

The boundaries and locations of disposal imits must be accurately located and mapped by means of a land survey.

Monitoring of landslides plays an increasingly important role in the context of living and coping with these natural hazards. The classical methods of land surveys, inclinometers, extensometers, and piezometers are still the most appropriate monitoring measures. In the future, the emerging techniques based on remote sensing and remote access techniques will undoubtedly be of main interest.
