Subject: [SLR-Mail] No.2289: ITRF session at EGU 2015 From: Zuheir Altamimi Author: Tonie van Dam, Zuheir Altamimi, Jim Ray, Subject: G2.2 session on ITRF at EGU2015 EGU General Assembly -- Vienna, Austria, 12-17 April 2015 http://www.egu2015.eu Dear Colleagues, The next General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union will be held in Vienna, Austria, 12-17 April 2015. We draw your attention in particular to session: ”G2.2 The ITRF:Elaboration, Usage and Applications”. The goal of this session is to provide a forum to discuss preparations for the next International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF), expected to include data through 2013, as well as the ITRF usage in Earth sciences and other applications. Participants can discuss concerns not only related to the contributing technique services, but also all ITRF uses, ranging from local, regional to global applications. Contributions are sought from the individual technique services and various ITRF users, covering the complete range of topics, such as data analysis, parameter estimation and correction models. Of special interest is the evaluation of the impact of loading effects on individual frames and their combination. Contributions focusing on identifying and mitigating technique systematic errors are most welcome, which will hopefully help improve the next ITRF solutions. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 07 January 2015 at 13:00 CET -- Deadline to submit abstracts * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Please consider submitting a paper for this session or contact us directly if you have any questions.
