| Content: | Author: Richard Gross Dear Colleagues - As part of the EGU General Assembly that will be held in Vienna, Austria during 27 April - 02 May 2014 there will be a session on ”The Global Geodetic Observing System: Past, Present, and Future”. 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 integration of legacy and next generation geodetic stations into a global geodetic observing system, and that will include presentations on the analysis of data and products from this system. We hope that you will be able to join us in Vienna for this exciting session. More information about the EGU General Assembly 2014 can be obtained from its web site at Please note that the deadline for submitting abstracts is 16 January 2014. Hope to see you in Vienna! Best regards, Richard .......................................................... G2.1: The Global Geodetic Observing System: Past, Present, and Future The IAG’s Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) provides the fundamental ground- and space-based geodetic observations needed to improve our understanding of the Earth’s variable shape, rotation, and gravity. Modernizing existing ground-based systems and developing future space-based systems will enable greater understanding of the causes and consequences of these variations. Simulations are needed to help plan the development and deployment of the future systems and to help study the impact of the systems on geodetic data and products including the terrestrial reference frame. This session is a forum for discussing past, present, and future geodetic observing systems, the use of simulations in developing and deploying the systems, and the use of the systems for improving our understanding of the dynamic Earth.
