Image 2dfgrs.png right thumb 300px Rendering of the 2dFGRS data In astronomy , a redshift survey , or galaxy survey , is a astronomical surveys survey of a section of the sky to measure the redshift of astronomical objects. Using Hubble s law , the redshift can be used to calculate the distance of an object from Earth. By combining redshift with angular position data, a redshift survey maps the 3D distribution of matter within a field of the sky. These observations are used to measure properties of the Large scale structure of the cosmos large scale structure of the universe. The Great Wall astronomy Great Wall , a vast conglomeration of galaxies over 500 million light years wide, provides a dramatic example of a large scale structure that redshift surveys can detect. The first redshift survey was the CfA Redshift Survey , started in 1977 with the initial data collection completed in 1982. The most notable, recent and low redshift surveys are the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey , Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey . At high redshift there exist the DEEP2 Redshift Survey and the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey VVDS . Because of the demands on observing time required to obtain spectroscopic redshifts i.e., true redshifts measured by velocity , it has become commonplace to use photometric redshift s, http astrowww.phys.uvic.ca grads gwyn pz index.html based on brightness. Such redshifts can be used in surveys and to find the space distribution of galaxies, provided the galaxy types are well known, but, obviously they cannot be used to define points on the Hubble curve, because of circular reasoning.

Systematic survey or extensive survey is the archaeology archaeological technique of detailed examination of an area for the purpose of recording the location and significance of archaeological resources. It provides a regional perspective by gathering information on settlement patterns over a large area. It is one of the basic fieldwork strategies used by paleoanthropologists and archaeologists . The regional survey answer questions pertaining to the site s location, the size of the settlement, their types of buildings, and the age of the site. Usually the surveyor walks over the area and records the site locations and their size. During this process, the surveyor tries to date the site to see when it was occupied.

Unreferenced date May 2007 In academia , a survey article is a paper that is a work of synthesis, published through the usual channels a learned journal or collective volume, such as conference proceedings or collection of essays . It stands outside the usual run of academic journal research paper s, for two reasons it is not presented as the author s original research, but as a survey or summary of a field and it is not necessarily subject to the same degree of peer review . Sometimes short survey articles appear in the guise of book reviews, where the context of the book is summarised first, often at greater length than is devoted to the book. In a survey article, the treatment of the subject is often less detailed or in depth than would be acceptable in a textbook, and the topic may be one in which recent work requires summary. In its objectivity, a survey article may lie somewhere between a personal essay, and an encyclopedia article. The intention is to give rapid access to material scattered over many papers. Some fields, such as theoretical physics , depend very much on such surveys to bring recent progress into focus, on a time scale of around 18 months to two years.

Stakes are generally made of wood in different sizes. Based on the use of the stake they are called alignment stakes, offset stakes, grade stakes, and slope stakes . Survey stakes are markers surveyors use in surveying projects to prepare job sites, mark out property boundaries, and provide information about claims on natural resources like timber and minerals. They can be made from wood, metal, plastic, and other materials and typically come in a range of sizes and colors for different purposes. Sources can include surveying and construction suppliers, and people can also make or order their own for custom applications. A survey stake is typically small, with a pointed end to make it easy to drive into the earth. It may be color coded or have a space for people to write information on the stake. Surveyors use stakes when assessing sites to mark out boundaries, record data, and convey information to other people. On a job site, for example, survey stakes indicate where it is necessary to backfill with soil to raise the elevation, or to cut soil away to lower it. Stakes can also provide information about slope and grading for people getting a job site ready for construction.This is one resource from http www.wisegeek.com what are survey stakes.htm not original Category Construction terminology engineering stub ... more details

A commissioned survey is a kind of archaeological and social survey performed in return for money or goods. Typically, they were conducted in the pre Colony colonial Era , as part of Age of European Enlightenment to study territories before colonization. They would usually extend to significant and detailed efforts by trading companies to study institutions of indigenous communities as a precursor to colonial powers exerting colonial supremacy. An example would be when soldiers of East India Company were paid a fees to study exotic lands, customs, cultures and literatures of the colonized world. The end product of a commissioned survey would usually be a report or book in a Languages of Europe European language , which could form a basis for Law law making by colonial powers.
