The description of the session is given below. On behalf of the conveners we 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 consistency and integration of measurements from different geodetic techniques and their use in studying the Earth´s time-variable surface geometry. We hope that you will be able to join us in Vienna for this exciting session. More information about the EGU General Assembly 2012 can be obtained from its web site at http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2012/. Please note that the deadline for submitting abstracts is 17 January 2012. Hope to see you in Vienna! Best regards, Dirk and Richard .......................................................... G2.1: The Global Geodetic Observing System: Tying and Integrating Geodetic Techniques for Research and Applications IAG´s Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) provides the means for integrating ground- and spaced-based observations of geodetic techniques. Nowadays, large inter-technique discrepancies are seen in combinations and they reflect the presence of errors whose nature and origin are not well understood. Modernization of geodetic infrastructures and homogeneous processing of geodetic data are essential to reduce such discrepancies and support consistent observation of Earth´s time-variable surface geometry (including ocean and ice surfaces), ocean currents, mass and volume changes. This session is a forum to discuss integration of geodetic techniques, the actual discrepancies highlighted by the combinations, their possible causes and corrections, as well as novel plans and strategies for development of infrastructures and their application to Earth´s surface monitoring.
