Session on Reference Frames at AGU 2017


Dear Colleagues, 

As part of the 2017 Fall Meeting of the AGU that will be held in New
Orleans, Louisiana during 11-15 December 2017, we would like to draw
your attention to the session on:

"Reference Frames: Determination, Usage and Application". 

The description of the session is given below. 

We encourage you to participate in and submit an abstract to our
session. 

For more information about the 2017 Fall Meeting, please consult:

https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2017/

Please note that abstracts must be submitted to AGU by August 2, 2017. 

Best regards, 
Zuheir Altamimi (IGN France)

Session ID#: 23099 (G016): Reference Frames: Determination, Usage and
Application:

The quantification of many geophysical phenomena, e.g. sea level
variation, co- and post-seismic deformation, glacial isostatic
adjustment, loading effects, but also precise orbit determination of
artificial satellites, rely on the availability of a global terrestrial
reference frame, such as the ITRF. The session solicits contributions
from scientists determining or using global reference frames for their
applications, focusing on error budgets and other limiting factors.
Contributions from analysts of space geodetic techniques (VLBI, SLR,
GNSS, DORIS) and their combination are also welcome. Papers on the
exploitation of ITRF2014 published last year are specifically
encouraged.
