ITRF session at EGU2018, Vienna


Dear Colleagues,

The next General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union will be held
in Vienna, Austria, 08 - 13 April 2018.

We draw your attention in particular to the session: "G2.2 The ITRF:
Elaboration, Usage and Applications"

Please consider submitting an abstract to this session.

The goal of this session is to provide a forum to discuss reference
systems theory, realization and applications in geosciences and society,
with a special emphasis on the scientific applications of the
International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF), and namely the
ITRF2014. Participants can discuss concerns not only related to the
contributing technique services, but also all ITRF uses, ranging from
local, regional to global applications. Contributions are sought from
the individual technique services and various ITRF users, covering the
complete range of topics, such as data analysis, parameter estimation
and correction models. Of special interest is the assessment of the
impact of non-linear station motions, e.g. periodic signals and
post-seismic deformations. Contributions focusing on identifying and
mitigating technique systematic errors are most welcome, which will
hopefully help improve the future ITRF solutions.

Deadline to submit abstracts: 10 January 2018 at 13:00 CET

Best regards
Zuheir Altamimi, on behalf of the conveners of session G2.2
