Degnan Subject: EGS Symposium Instrumental Challenges in Geodesy (G15): Call for Papers Dear Colleague, We wish to inform you of our ”Instrumental Challenges in Geodesy” Symposium (G15) to be held as part of the XXIII General Assembly of the European Geophysical Society (EGS) during the week of April 20-24, 1998 at the Acropolis Conference Center in Nice, France. Our particular symposium is dedicated to research and development activities related to instrumentation, calibration, and measurement/analysis techniques in the areas of Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), microwave space geodetic techniques (i.e. GPS, GLONASS, DORIS, or PRARE), or ground-based gravity measurements. Please note that there are other symposia dedicated to ”Spaceborne and Airborne Gravimetric and Altimetric Techniques” and to the many Earth science applications of space geodetic instrumentation. Further details on the EGS and the meeting in Nice can be obtained at the following World Wide Web address: http://www.copernicus.org/EGS/EGS.html Three types of papers will be presented in the symposia: invited papers (30 min), contributed papers (15 min), and poster papers (3-5 min oral presentation with extended poster or video display). We are distributing this message via several email lists, and we apologize in advance for your receiving more than one announcement. We are also sending this announcement as an attached Microsoft Word for Windows Document in the event that your email format distorts the content. ”Instrumental Challenges in Geodesy” Symposium (G15) In recent years, technologists and analysts within the space geodetic community have been responding to a number of technical challenges driven by important geoscience questions such as sea level, postglacial uplift, and global mass tranfer. These challenges include improved site position sensitivity and accuracy (especially in the vertical), better temporal coverage and resolution, increased automation, and reduced atmospheric errors. This symposium will primary showcase the methods by which the technology and analysis communities for the various space geodetic techniques are meeting these new and important scientific challenges. In particular, we are soliciting contributed and poster/video papers in the following areas: Satellite Laser Ranging Advanced Millimeter Accuracy Systems Highly or Fully Automated Systems Eyesafe Systems Multicolor Systems for Atmospheric Refraction Correction Millimeter Accuracy Satellite Designs Lunar or Interplanetary Laser Ranging Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) Advanced Receivers and Correlators Realtime VLBI Spaceborne VLBI Special Experiments/Applications Microwave Geodetic Systems (GPS, GLONASS, DORIS, PRARE) Advanced Antennas, Receivers, Transceivers, or Techniques Multitechnique or Combined Systems Atmospheric Correction and Stochastic Modelling Calibration Techniques Gravity Instrumentation General Information on the EGS XXIII General assembly For general information and advanced registration please contact: EGS Office Max-Planck-Str. 13 37191 Katlenburg-Lindau Germany Tel: +49-5556-1440 Fax: +49-5556-4709 EGS@COPERNICUS.ORG http://www.copernicus.org/EGS/EGS.html Accommodation For hotel accommodation please contact: TRADOTEL RIVIERA 14 Avenue Marianna F-06000 Nice France Tel: +33-493-530010 Fax: +33-493-530039 Call for Papers Scientists of all nations are invited to submit abstracts of their contributions, one copy to one of the Conveners listed below and the original (or ASCII or PS files) to the EGS Office, Max-Planck Str. 13, 37191 Katlenburg-Lindau, GERMANY. Abstracts should be typed in English and prepared in the usual camera-ready format (12.0 cm width x 10.5 cm height). Submittal information must include the name and full address of the key author. THE DEADLINE FOR THE RECEIPT OF ABSTRACTS IS 15 DECEMBER 1997. Notice of Acceptance After the contributions have been reviewed the appropriate authors will be informed about the status of their paper (and of financial support) in mid-January 1998. Abstracts of accepted papers will be included free of charge in Annales Geophysicae Supplement, Vol. 16, 1998. Notice of Schedule After the Programme Committee has defined the overall time schedule of the conference and after the Conveners have approved their session programmes, all key-authors will be informed on the final status and schedule of their paper at the beginning of March 1998. Scheduled presentations are included in the Society´s bulletin Newsletter Number 66, 1998. Oral Presentations All lecture rooms are of professional standard, and they will be equipped with 2 overhead projectors, 1 slide projector and one/two screens allowing for double-projection at any time. Poster Presentations Authors are encouraged to submit poster contributions, as separate Poster Sessions will be foreseen in the programme. For each poster contribution one numbered poster board will be reserved. Video Presentations Authors are invited to submit video presentations, as a special video theatre will be available for showing VHS (multinorm) videos to a larger audience. We look forward to your participation in our symposium.
