Subject: [SLR-Mail] No.2105: GGOS Session ant Fall AGU From: Gross, Richard S (335N) ******************************************************************************** SLR Electronic Mail 2012-07-15 17:26:11 UTC Message No. 2105 ******************************************************************************** Author: Richard Gross Dear Colleagues - As part of the 2012 Fall Meeting of the AGU that will be held in San Francisco, California during 03-07 December 2012 I am happy to announce there will be a session on ”The Global Geodetic Observing System: Next Generation Systems”. 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 cover the development of next generation space geodetic observing systems and their deployment in networks spanning the globe. We hope that you will be able to join us in San Francisco for this exciting session. More information about the 2012 Fall Meeting of the AGU can be obtained from its web site at . Please note that the deadline for submitting abstracts is 08 August 2012. Hope to see you in San Francisco! Best regards, Richard .......................................................... G021: The Global Geodetic Observing System: Next Generation Systems The IAG´s Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) provides the means for integrating ground- and spaced-based geodetic observations. Modernizing the existing geodetic infrastructure and homogenizing the processing of geodetic data are essential for consistent observation of Earth´s time-variable shape, rotation, and gravity. This session is a forum for discussing ongoing and planned improvements to the geodetic observing systems and for using the observations from these systems to improve our understanding of the nature of Earth.
