EGU 2013 - Session 3.3: Earth Rotation - Call for papers


Dear Colleagues,

The next General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) will
be taking place in Vienna, Austria, from April 07-12, 2013.

We would like to draw your attention to Session 3.3
"OBSERVING AND UNDERSTANDING EARTH ROTATION VARIABILITY AND ITS 
GEOPHYSICAL EXCITATION"
and call for contributions.

In particular we seek contributions to this session that are related to
the following topics:

- new instruments and methods for the determination of EOP series and 
  their analyses
- combinations of different observing techniques
- dynamical link between Earth rotation, geophysical fluids, and other 
  geodetic quantities, such as the Earth gravity field or surface
  deformation
- development of inverse methods for the determination of Earth system 
  quantities from observations of Earth rotation
- relationship between EOP variability and current or potential 
  variability in fluids due to climate variation or global change
- forecasts of EOP and the related geophysical excitations
- characteristics and variability of the rotation parameters of other 
  planets or planetary bodies

More information on this session as well as on details concerning 
abstract submission can be found on the following web site:

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Vienna!


With best regards,

Florian Seitz - Convener
David Salstein and Aleksander Brzezinski - Co-Conveners
