The abstract deadline is September 6, 2007 at 23:59 UT at the AGU website http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm07/ Meeting information, including registration and housing information is also available at the above URL. We look forward to seeing you in San Francisco. Sincerely, Donald Argus (Donald.F.Argus@jpl.nasa.gov) Claude Boucher (claude.boucher@recherche.gouv.fr) Frank Lemoine (Frank.Lemoine@gsfc.nasa.gov) G05 Session Description: (co-sponsor, Tectonophysics) The International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS) forms the principals on which Earth´s reference frame is established. Its latest realization, International Terrestrial Reference Frame 2005 (ITRF2005), is determined from millions of estimates of site position and thousands of estimates of Earth´s spin, is stimulating research on how the definition of Earth´s reference frame impacts our understanding a range of phenomena. We seek studies on Earth´s scale, translation, rotation, and spin, on the means by which they are defined and determined using GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo), SLR, VLBI, and DORIS, and on how Earth´s reference frame affects estimates of the rate at which sites are rising and falling (and inference for postglacial rebound), estimates of the angular velocity of the plates (and inference for tectonics), estimates of gravity change from GRACE, and estimates of sea level rise from TOPEX and Jason satellite altimetry. We seek also studies on the theory on which Earth´s reference frame is constructed, on how International Astronomical Union resolutions are satisfied, and on advances in modeling relativity.
