The description of the session is given below. On behalf of the conveners I would like to draw your attention to this sess= ion and encourage you to participate in it. We are developing a rich sessio= n that will explore the consistency and integration of measurements from di= fferent geodetic techniques and their use in studying the Earth´s time-vari= able surface geometry. We hope that you will be able to join us in Vienna f= or this exciting session. More information about the EGU General Assembly 2= 011 can be obtained from its web site at Please note that the deadline for submitting abstracts is 10 January 2011. Hope to see you in Vienna! Best regards, Richard .......................................................... G2.2: The Global Geodetic Observing System: Tying and Integrating Geodetic= Techniques for Research and Applications IAG=92s Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) provides the means for inte= grating ground- and spaced-based observations of geodetic techniques. Nowad= ays, large inter-technique discrepancies are seen in combinations and they = reflect the presence of errors whose nature and origin are not well underst= ood. Modernization of geodetic infrastructures and homogeneous processing o= f geodetic data are essential to reduce such discrepancies and support cons= istent observation of Earth=92s time-variable surface geometry (including o= cean and ice surfaces), ocean currents, mass and volume changes. This sessi= on is a forum to discuss integration of geodetic techniques, the actual dis= crepancies highlighted by the combinations, their possible causes and corre= ctions, as well as novel plans and strategies for development of infrastruc= tures and their application to Earth=92s surface monitoring.
