************************************************************************ IERS Message No. 393 January 10, 2020 ************************************************************************ Session on Mass Transport, Earth Rotation and Gravitation at AOGS 2020 Dear Colleagues: The 2020 Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) annual meeting will be held in Hongcheon, Korea during June 28 - July 4. We would like to draw your attention to session SE33 on: Global Mass Transport, Earth Rotation and Low-degree Gravitational Change (see session abstract below). Please consider submitting an abstract to this session. The abstract submission deadline is January 21, 2020 (http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2020/). We look forward to seeing you in Hongcheon this summer! With best wishes for a Happy New Year, Jianli Chen, Richard Gross, Jolanta Nastula, Michael Schindelegger AOGS2020 SE33: Global Mass Transport, Earth Rotation and Low-degree Gravitational Change Convener: Jianli Chen Co-conveners: Richard Gross, Jolanta Nastula, Michael Schindelegger Earth rotation is driven by mass transport and redistribution within the Earth geophysical fluids system, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, ocean, cryosphere, mantle and core. Global large-scale mass transport also introduces long wavelength (i.e., low-degree) gravitational change. Earth rotation is driven by mass transport and redistribution within the Earth geophysical fluids system, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, ocean, cryosphere, mantle and core. Global large-scale mass transport also introduces long wavelength (i.e., low-degree) gravitational change (including geocenter motion). Although relatively small, Earth rotation and low-degree gravitational changes have been measured by space geodetic techniques with increasing, unprecedented accuracy, opening up important new avenues of research that will lead to a better understanding of global mass transport processes and of the Earth's dynamic response. This session solicits contributions ranging from geophysical interpretations of observed Earth rotation and low-degree gravitational change using advance numerical models estimates, in situ measurements, and space geodetic measurements, to geophysical applications of observed Earth rotation and low-degree gravitational change in improving the understanding of the Earth geodynamic change and global mass transport and redistribution. ************************************************************************ IERS Messages are edited and distributed by the IERS Central Bureau.
