What is the scope of surveying practice and surveying education? How do surveyors think about the land?
Survey Marks provides some answers for these questions. Essays from academics and practitioners look back at the contributions of some early colonial surveyors, discuss education issues, examine current concerns of surveyors, and look at how surveying is evolving alongside new technology, new social expectations and new environmental concerns. Artists and poets contribute their unique vision of our place on this land.
Survey Marks celebrates 50 years of surveying education at the University of Otago.
