Beutler, J. LaBrecque, J. Ray, T. Yunck Subject: Integrating Space Geodetic Techniques at Spring AGU Contributed papers are invited for special Geodesy session G01 on: ”Integrating Space Geodetic Techniques and Results for Global Earth Observing” which will be held during the Spring 2002 AGU Meeting, in Washington, DC, during 28 May - 1 June 2002. The Global Space Geodetic Networks and the terrestrial reference frame have become the fundamental resource in the measurement of sea level, polar mass balance, land surface change, atmospheric dynamics, navigation, time transfer, and national cadastral networks. To advance geodesy´s contributions to the Earth sciences, the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) plans to implement an ”Integrated Global Geodetic Observing System” in 2003. This session seeks to explore the optimum integration of mature (i.e., SLR, VLBI, GPS, and DORIS) and developing and supporting (e.g., GLONASS, GALILEO, altimetry, InSAR, gravimetry, etc) techniques in anticipation of the IAG initiative. Topics of interest include: scientific objectives and requirements; techniques for the efficient and accurate measurement of critical parameters and the efficient synthesis of observations; coordination of observing programs; local and global ties of the observing networks to improve accuracy; limits to accuracy; the definition, dissemination, and utilization of the products; etc. The format of the session may include a panel discussion.

LaBrecque (Office of Earth Science, NASA) Jim Ray (U.S. Naval Observatory) Tom Yunck (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) Abstract deadlines: 5 March 2002 via postal mail; 12 March 2002 (14:00 UTC) via electronic submission Website: http://www.agu.org/meetings/sm02top.html From: Jim Ray ******************************************************************************** |
