Congress Prize Congratulations to George Oner Ogalo, Kenya for winning the FIG Congress Prize for his paper GPS in Cadastres: A Case Study of Kenya A cadastre is a parcel based up-to-date register of interest in land. It usually includes a geometric description of land parcels linked to other records describing the nature of interests and ownership of control. Kenya practices a legal cadastre, which is a state register containing information about land parcels. This is supported by a detailed description of the parcel either in the form of Registry Index Maps (RIM) under RLA or Deed Plans under RTA. The index maps or deed plans are the end products of cadastral surveys. This paper is being presented Wednesday, April 24, 4:00 pm, in the Surveying & Geodesy: GPS Land Survey session in the Harding Room. See page 29. Exhibit Hall Opens at 12:30 pm 9

This course covers the sources of errors in surveying measurements, their classifications, and the manner in which they propagate in computations. The textbook for this workshop is Adjustment Computations: Statistics and Least Squares in Surveying and GIS. Intended Audience: This workshop has been presented at several state conferences around the United States and appeals to practicing professional surveyors who are involved in management and adjustment of surveying measurements.
