Earth Rotation Session in Trieste, Italy


Dear Colleagues -

As part of the 18th International Symposium on Geodynamics and Earth
Tides that will be held in Trieste, Italy during 5-9 June 2016 there
will be a session on the topic of "Variations in Earth Rotation". On
behalf of the conveners of this session I would like to draw your
attention to it and encourage you to participate in it.

Besides the session on Earth rotation, the 18th International Symposium
on Geodynamics and Earth Tides will be open for a wide range of
scientific problems in geodynamics research. Interactions of geophysical
fluids with Earth tides phenomena and observations will be a specific
focus and includes:

- Tidal and non-tidal loading in space geodetic and subsurface
  observations
- Permanent and dynamic effects of Earth tides on the geodetic reference
  system
- Using tides and ocean tidal loading with modern geodesy to probe Earth
  structure
- Variations in Earth rotation, gravity field and geocenter due to mass
  redistributions
- Tidal forcing of plate movement
- Subsurface fluid movement through geodetic and gravity observation
- Fluid pressure changes due to Earth tides
- Stress and deformation changes due to injected fluids
- Earth tides, mass movements and deformation at volcanoes
- Tidal effects on geodetic satellites as GOCE, GRACE, ...
- Innovations in instrumentation for gravity and deformation observation
- Innovations in software, data analyses and prediction methods of
  loading and tides
- Induced seismicity
- Tides in planets

We hope that you will be able to join us in Trieste for this exciting
symposium. More information about it can be obtained from its web site
at <http://g-et2016.units.it/>.

Please note that the deadline for submitting abstracts is 04 March 2016.

Hope to see you in Trieste!

Best regards,
Richard
