G01 Reference Frames

Convener: Tonie van Dam (Luxembourg, Luxembourg)
Co-convener: Gary Johnston (Canberra, Australia)

Description

Accurate reference frames are fundamentally important for Earth science studies, for satellite navigation, for applications relying on geo-spatial information, and increasingly for commercial applications such as agriculture, aviation, construction, public safety, and transportation. The primary goal of this symposium, is to bring together

  • the many individuals and government representatives responsible for funding, installing, and maintaining the global International Terrestrial Reference Frame infrastructure;
  • scientists from all disciplines and branches studying and using geodetic reference frames, and
  • representatives from industry who use geo-referencing to address the most important questions and issues that the community must consider regarding theoretical and practical implementation of improved reference frames for science, surveying, and commerce.

Contributions are solicited that will address the underlying limiting factors, systematic errors and novel approaches for future improvements to the ITRF. Additionally, papers addressing reference frame requirements, geoscience and commercial usage, and applications will be of great importance to the G1 symposium.
