Session on Earth Rotation at EGU GA 2014


Dear Colleagues,

The next General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) will
be taking place in Vienna, Austria, from April 27 to May 02, 2014.

We would like to draw your attention to Session 3.3
"EARTH ROTATION: THEORETICAL ASPECTS, OBSERVATION OF TEMPORAL VARIATIONS
AND PHYSICAL INTERPRETATION"
and call for contributions.

In particular we seek contributions to this session that are related to
the following topics:

- theoretical developments that are consistent with the highly accurate
observations at the mm-level to meet the requirements of GGOS
- technological progress of geodetic observation systems for the
determination of EOP
- combinations of different observing techniques
- dynamic link between Earth rotation, geophysical fluids, and other
geodetic quantities, such as the Earth gravity field or surface
deformation
- development of inverse methods for the determination of Earth system
quantities from observations of Earth rotation
- relationship between EOP variability and current or potential
variability in fluids due to climate variation or global change
- forecasts of EOP and the related geophysical excitations
- characteristics and variability of the rotation parameters of other
planets or planetary bodies

More information on this session as well as on details concerning
abstract submission can be found on the following web site:

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Vienna!


With best regards,

Florian Seitz - Convener
Chengli Huang and David Salstein - Co-Conveners
