GGOS Session at AGU Fall Meeting 2013


Dear Colleagues -

As part of the 2013 Fall Meeting of the AGU that will be held in San
Francisco, California during 09-13 December 2013 I am happy to announce
that there will be a session on "The Global Geodetic Observing System:
Past, Present, and Future". The description of the session is given
below.

On behalf of the conveners I would like to draw your attention to this
session and encourage you to participate in it. We are developing a rich
session that will cover the past, present, and future of space geodetic
observing systems and their deployment in networks spanning the globe.
We hope that you will be able to join us in San Francisco for this
exciting session. More information about the 2013 Fall Meeting of the
AGU can be obtained from its web site at
<http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/>.

Please note that the deadline for submitting abstracts is 06 August
2013.

Hope to see you in San Francisco!

Best regards,
Richard

G026: The Global Geodetic Observing System: Past, Present, and Future

The IAG's Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) provides the
fundamental ground- and spaced-based geodetic observations needed to
improve our understanding of the Earth's variable shape, rotation, and
gravity. Modernizing existing ground-based systems and developing future
space-based systems will enable greater understanding of the causes and
consequences of these variations. This session is a forum for discussing
past, present, and future geodetic observing systems and for their use
in improving our understanding of the dynamic Earth.

Conveners:
