| Content: | Author: Richard Gross Dear Colleagues - As part of the 12th Annual Meeting of the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society that will be held in Singapore during 2-7 August 2015 there will be a session on ”Geodetic Infrastructure for Asia Oceania: Importance for Reference Frames and Natural Hazards”. 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 for reference frame determination and natural hazards investigations. We hope that you will be able to join us in Singapore for this exciting session. More information about the 12th Annual Meeting of the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society can be obtained from its web site at Please note that the deadline for submitting abstracts is 18 February 2015. Hope to see you in Singapore! Best regards, Richard ......................................................... SE03: Geodetic Infrastructure for Asia Oceania: Importance for Reference Frames and Natural Hazards One of the key goals of the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) is to actively promote the sustainment, improvement and evolution of the global geodetic infrastructure needed to meet Earth science and societal requirements. This infrastructure is essential for providing the observations needed to determine and maintain global and regional reference frames and is the backbone for using geodetic observations for natural hazard identification, assessment, prioritization, prediction, and early warning. This session, which is co-sponsored by GGOS and the Asia-Pacific Space Geodynamics (APSG) Program, is a forum for discussing applications of the geodetic infrastructure in Asia Oceania, including its use to determine national and regional reference frames and its use to study natural hazards.
