G018. Reference Frames: Determination, Usage, and Application

The Earth is a dynamic planet. The quantification of many geophysical phenomena, e.g.

sea level variations, co-and post-seismic deformation, glacial isostatic adjustment, local
subsidence due to natural or anthropogenic causes, loading effects, ice sheet and glacier

mapping, mitigation of natural hazards, but also precise orbit determination of artificial
satellites, rely on the availability of a global terrestrial reference frame, such as the

International Terrestrial reference Frame (ITRF). The session solicits contributions from

scientists determining or using global reference frames for their applications, focusing on

error budgets and other limiting factors. Papers from analysts of space geodetic techniques

(DORIS, GNSS, SLR, VLBI) and their combination, in the context of the ITRF2020 Updates

are particularly welcome. Papers on the exploitation of past ITRF solutions and the latest 2020

solutions are also encouraged.
