The description of the session is given below. We would like to draw your attention to this session and encourage =20 you to participate in it. The deadline for submitting abstracts is 1 =20 March 2006. Hope to see you in Baltimore! Best regards, Richard Gross and David Salstein ................................. G06: Earth Rotation: The Long and the Short of It The Earth=92s rotation changes on all observable timescales, from =20 subdaily to decadal and longer. Such variations include Earth´s spin =20 rate noted as changes in the length of day, as well as polar motions =20 and variations of the polar axis in space. The wide range of =20 timescales on which the Earth=92s rotation occurs reflects the va iety =20= of processes that are causing it to change. These include external =20 tidal forces, surficial fluid processes involving the atmosphere, =20 oceans, and hydrosphere, some related to climate variability, and =20 internal processes acting both within the solid Earth itself and =20 between it and the fluid core. Observations of the Earth=92s rotation =20= can thus be used to investigate a wide variety of geophysical =20 processes. This session will be a forum for discussing the use of =20 Earth rotation observations to study dynamic processes in the Earth =20 system. Richard S.
