Subject: [SLR-Mail] No.2037: geocenter motion session at EGU2012 From: Jim.Ray ******************************************************************************** SLR Electronic Mail 2011-12-14 12:44:58 UTC Message No. 2037 ******************************************************************************** Author: Jim Ray, Laurent Metivier, Yuri Barkin Subject: geocenter motion session at EGU2012 EGU General Assembly -- Vienna, Austria, 22-27 April 2012 http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2012/ Dear Colleagues, The General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union will be held in Vienna, Austria, 22-27 April 2012. We draw your attention in particular to session ”G2.2 - An Update on Geocenter Motions”. In the 12 years since the IERS campaign to study geocenter motions there have been large strides in observational results from space geodesy, as well as better theoretical developments. The effects of large-scale motions of the solid Earth with respect to the total planetary center of mass, while small, are much better understood now and their significance is widely appreciated for a range of geophysical modeling. This session aims to try to summarize the current state of understanding, observationally and theoretically, and to focus on areas of remaining uncertainty. Papers are welcomed on all aspects of these issues. 17 January 2012: Deadline for receipt of abstracts at http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2012/abstract_management/how_to_submit_an_abstract.html Please consider submitting a paper for this session or contact us directly if you have any questions. Sincerely, Jim Ray, NOAA/National Geodetic Survey, jim.ray@noaa.gov Laurent Metivier, IGN/LAREG, laurent.metivier@ign.fr Yuri Barkin, Moscow State University, barkin@sai.msu.su ********************************************************************************
