G6. Earth´s rotation, reference systems and geodynamics:
(joint with SE1.02)
Convenors: Zuheir Altamimi (altamimi@ensg.ign.fr)

SE1.02 Planet Earth: structure and dynamics:
Geodynamics and earth rotation (joint with G6)

Jean Dickey (Jean.Dickey@jpl.nasa.gov)


Space Geodesy techniques, such as VLBI, LLR, SLR, GPS and DORIS,
provide accurate observations allowing to study a wide variety of
geophysical and geodynamic processes affecting the Earth shape and
the parameters of its rotation. Based on the analysis of these
observations, the challenge of this symposium is to discuss the link
between the three major themes given in the title, highlighting their
mutual interactions. Topics related to Earth´s rotation and reference
frame correlation and consistency include their common modelling and
the role of systematic errors, as determined either by an individual
or multi-techniques of Space Geodesy or combination of individual
estimates. Of interest to interactions between Terrestrial Reference
Frame and geodynamics are geodetic and/or geologic global plate motion
models, Earth surface deformation and geocenter motion. Discussion
of geodynamic processes that influence the rotation of the Earth
should focus on effects related, e.g., to core and mantle dynamics,
including post-glacial rebound and seismic effects.
