This symposium is a joint symposium co-sponsored by other IUGG Associations. The outline J-G05 is attached below. Please be aware of the following deadlines: 1st February 2011: All Other Delegates must submit their abstract by this NEW, REVISED date. 28th March 2011 Authors notified of paper acceptance; Successful Conference grant applicants notified. 11th April 2011 Early Bird Registration deadline; Presenters and successful grant applicants MUST register by this date or their papers will be withdrawn from the program. Note: ABSTRACTS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY THE AUTHOR WHO WILL PRESENT THE PAPER Looking forward to your contribution to J-G05 ! With best regards, Markus Rothacher (Switzerland) Ruth Neilan (United States of America) Mioara Mandea (France) ============================================================================ J-G05 - Integrated Earth Observing Systems Earth observations are the fundamental basis for most IUGG scientific research, activities, and applications. Integrating these observations is of increasing importance to better understand our planet Earth and the scientific and societal challenges that we face now and in the coming decades. These observations are of vital importance for virtually all associations working under the auspices of IUGG and for inter-association and even inter-Union activities that are being further developed or initiated. Entities like the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), the Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS), and the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), along with the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS), demonstrate the need for highly collaborative international observations that target key questions, and for the systems necessary to integrate them for multi-disciplinary applications and decision-making. The importance of developing global observing strategies is recognized by GEO, the Group on Earth Observations, with its main aim to develop the GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems), which is supported on the government level by more than 80 countries. This symposium will give an overview of the major international developments underway towards integrating Earth observations, Inter-Union activities of the International Council for Science (ICSU), and developments within the IUGG associations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ETH Zurich Tel. : +41-44-633-3375 Prof. Dr. Markus Rothacher Fax : +41-44-633-1066 Inst. of Geodesy and Photogrammetry E-Mail: markus.rothacher@ethz.ch HPV G52 Schafmattstr. 34 CH-8093 Zurich, Switzerland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Carey Noll ******************************************************************************** |
