Earth Rotation Session at AGU Fall Meeting


Dear Colleagues -

As part of the 2018 Fall Meeting of the AGU that will be held in
Washington DC during 10-14 December 2018 there will be a session on
"Earth and Planetary Rotation: Theory, Observations, and Analysis". The
description of the session is given below. On behalf if the conveners I
would like to draw your attention to this session and encourage you to
participate in it. More information about the 2018 Fall Meeting can be
obtained from its web site at <https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2018>.

Please note that abstracts must be submitted to AGU by August 1, 2018.
Submitting by July 25, 2018 gives you a chance to win a $100 gift card!

Hope to see you in Washington DC!

Best regards,
Richard



G004: Earth and Planetary Rotation: Theory, Observations, and Analysis

The Earth's rotation changes on a wide range of time scales, reflecting
the wide range of processes affecting it, from external tidal forces to
surficial processes involving the atmosphere, oceans, and hydrosphere to
internal processes acting both at the core-mantle boundary and within
the solid Earth itself. In addition, the periods of the resonances in
the Earth's rotation depend upon the internal structure and constitution
of the Earth. Observations of the Earth's rotation can therefore be used
to place constraints on a wide range of dynamical processes of the
Earth, including glacial isostatic adjustment, mantle anelasticity,
core-mantle coupling, core flattening, core angular momentum, torsional,
rotational, and inertial oscillations of the core, and the strength of
the magnetic field at the inner core and core-mantle boundaries. This
session is a forum for discussing the use of rotation measurements to
constrain the structure and dynamical processes of the Earth and other
planets.
