Abstract
An effort for regional geoid determination has been established at the Zulia University for the area between geographic latitude 7° to 12° North and longitude 68° to 73° West. Data collection, observation and validation is under progress. The creation of a digital height model, a combined geoid traverse crossing the Andes mountain chain, some first results of a GPS — levelling project around Maracaibo Lake and future plans will be considered.
