The description of the session is given below. I would like to draw your attention to this session and encourage you to participate in it. The deadline for submitting abstracts is 29 February 2008. More information about this symposium can be obtained from the web site at Hope to see you in Chania! Best regards, Richard Richard Gross Geodynamics and Space Geodesy Group Jet Propulsion Laboratory Mail Stop 238-600; 4800 Oak Grove Drive Pasadena, CA 91109-8099, USA +1 818-354-4010 (phone) +1 818-393-4965 (fax) Richard.Gross@jpl.nasa.gov ................................. Session 8: Earth observation and the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS). Chairs: Richard Gross (USA). Measurements of the EarthÂ’s rotation, shape, and gravity provided by global geodetic observing systems show that they change on a wide range of time scales reflecting the wide range of processes affecting them, from external tidal forces to surficial processes involving the atmosphere, oceans, and hydrosphere to internal processes acting both at the core-mantle boundary as well as within the solid Earth itself. Measurements taken by global geodetic observing systems can therefore be used to gain greater understanding of a wide variety of dynamic Earth processes, from tracking water in its various phases as it cycles through the atmosphere, oceans, and land, to crustal deformation associated with tectonic motions and glacial isostatic adjustment, to torsional oscillations of the core. This session will be a forum for discussing the present status and future evolution of global geodetic observing systems and their use to investigate dynamic Earth processes. ...................................
