The description of the session is given below. On behalf of the conveners I would like to draw your attention to this session and encourage you to participate in it. We are developing a rich session that will explore the use of geodetic observations to gain greater understanding of the global water cycle. We hope that you will be able to join us in San Francisco for this exciting session. More information about the 2009 Fall Meeting of the AGU can be obtained from its web site at Please note that the deadline for submitting abstracts is 03 September 2009. Hope to see you in San Francisco! Best regards, Richard .......................................................... G18: The Global Geodetic Observing System and the Global Water Cycle Geodetic observations of the Earth´s time-variable shape, gravity field, and rotation (the “three pillars” of geodesy) record, among others, the geodetic ”fingerprints” of mass movements in ocean, atmosphere, ice sheets and terrestrial water storage (the fluid envelop of the solid Earth) with increasing accuracy, and spatial and temporal resolution. Geodetic techniques sense changes in the surfaces of major water cycle reservoirs such as the oceans, glaciers and ice sheets, and land water bodies. Moreover, geodetic techniques are impacted by the presence of water in atmosphere and soil, or the state of the sea surface. Thus, the geodetic observing system is, or has the potential to be, a global water cycle observing system. The session invites presentations on recent progress of applications of geodetic techniques to the monitoring of variations and changes in the water cycle from hours to decades, including new sensors, improved data processing and integrated modeling.
