Session on Reference Frames at AGU Fall Meeting


Dear Colleagues,

As part of the 2018 Fall Meeting of the AGU that will be held in
Washington DC 10-14 December 2018, we would like to draw your attention
to the session on:

G019: 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 2018 Fall Meeting, please consult:

https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2018/

Please note that abstracts must be submitted to AGU by August 1, 2018.

Best regards,
Zuheir Altamimi (IGN France)
Jake Griffiths (US Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC, USA)
Frank Lemoine (NASA Goddard SFC, Greenbelt, MD, USA)

G019: 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 in preparation for the next ITRF
release are welcome. Papers on the exploitation of ITRF2014 are also
encouraged.
