          Special Issue 'VLBI' of the Journal of Geodesy
   
                       CALL FOR PAPERS


We are seeking contributions for a special issue of the Journal of 
Geodesy (JoG) which will be dedicated to VLBI. JoG is the official 
journal of the International Association of Geodesy.
All papers will be peer-reviewed according to JoG review procedures.

Deadline for submissions: March 31, 2006.

We solicit papers that focus on topics such as
- results of geodetic and astrometric VLBI and interpretations,
- theoretical and/or modeling studies,
- combination of VLBI with other space geodetic techniques.

The special issue is not intended to include papers on purely 
instrumental aspects of the VLBI technique.

Submissions should be marked "VLBI special issue" and sent to the 
Editorial Office of the Journal of Geodesy in the usual way 
(double-spaced, single-column, with figures and tables at the end). 
Instructions for authors are available at the Springer web site at the 
URL:
http://www.springer.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,4-110-70-1101678-0,00.html

The editors of the special issue will be happy to take a look at 
abstracts and drafts ahead of time, to let you know whether the paper 
would fit with the issue. In this case, please send your material to one
of the editors.


Special issue editors:
