NGS hosts a monthly webinar series to highlight geodesy and coastal mapping programs, products, and research. There are two ways to earn a certificate of attendance for fully viewing an NGS webinar.

1. Attend the webinar ‘live’ for the entirety of the broadcast. Those who do so will receive a certificate via email from NGS. View our upcoming webinars.
   
   
2. NGS, in partnership with the COMET MetEd Program, has developed a tool through which you can earn a certificate by viewing recordings of past webinars. First, create a free MetEd user account. Then, visit MetEd to access nearly all of the previous webinars NGS has hosted. Once you watch the entirety of a webinar, you can download a Certificate of Attendance.

If you have questions about receiving certificates through the processes above, please email NGS.Webinar@noaa.gov.
