May 27, 1997 "The Impact of the Permanent Tide on GEOID96, G96SSS and NAVD 88" HTML PPT 1997 AGU Spring Meeting Baltimore, MD An overview of the three major Permanent Tide systems, and how they affect the geoid models, GPS processing, and levelled heights in the United States.
December 10, 1998 "Implications of Spherical Earth Models for Gravity Reduction Procedures and Geoid Computations" HTML N/A 1998 AGU Autumn Meeting San Francisco, CA Using spherical models to prove consistency in terrain reduction techniques. Shows a link between terrain reduction and downward continuation. Cartesian coordinates cause most of the problems in terrain reductions.

May 25, 2000 "Comparing GEOID99 to the GSD95 Canadian geoid model" HTML PPT 2000 Canadian Geophysical Union Meeting Banff, Alberta, Canada A general comparison between the latest official models of the USA and Canada and how they compare at the border.
May 26, 2000 "Recent Geoid Research at NGS" HTML PPT 2000 Canadian Geoid Meeting Banff, Alberta, Canada A look at the latest theory and numerical results being investigated for high resolution geoid modeling at NGS.
June 2, 2000 "Use of G99SSS to evaluate the static gravity geopotential derived from the GRACE, CHAMP, and GOCE missions" HTML PPT 2000 AGU Spring Meeting Washington, DC Discussion of available data sets for analysis of spherical harmonic models from impending satellite missions, followed by a brief summary of the potential that these models hold for refining the geoid determination process. 
August, 4 2000 "Recent Investigations Towards Achieving a One Centimeter Geoid" HTML PPT GGG2000 (IAG Symposium) Banff, Alberta, Canada Presentation covering areas of research related to the improvement of hybrid models and Helmertization of surface anomalies to generate improved future geoid models.
