************************************************************************ IERS Message No. 256 July 28, 2014 ************************************************************************ GGOS Session at AGU Fall Meeting 2014 Dear Colleagues - As part of the 2014 Fall Meeting of the AGU that will be held in San Francisco, California during 15-19 December 2014 there will be a session on "The Global Geodetic Observing System: Improving Geodetic Observations for Science and Society". The description of the session is given below. On behalf if 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 showcase the improvements to the geodetic observing systems that are being planned or that are currently underway. I hope that you will be able to join us in San Francisco for this exciting session. More information about the 2014 Fall Meeting can be obtained from its web site at . Please note that abstracts must be submitted to AGU by August 6, 2014. Hope to see you in San Francisco! Best regards, Richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Session ID# 2600: The Global Geodetic Observing System: Improving Geodetic Observations for Science and Society The IAG's Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) provides the fundamental ground- and space-based geodetic observations needed for numerous scientific and societal applications. Current efforts to modernize existing ground-based systems and to develop future space-based systems will lead to improvements in the accuracy, latency, and resolution of these observations. This session is a forum for discussing improvements to the geodetic observing systems and for their use by science and society.
