ITRF session at EGU 2016


Dear Colleagues,

The next General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union will be held
in Vienna, Austria, 17 - 22 April 2016. We draw your attention in
particular to the session: "G2.2 The International Terrestrial Reference
Frame: Elaboration, Usage and Applications"

Please consider submitting an abstract to this session.

The goal of this session is to provide a forum to discuss
the results and scientific applications of the new release of
the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF), namely the
ITRF2014. Participants can discuss concerns not only related to
the contributing technique services, but also all ITRF uses, ranging
from local, regional to global applications. Contributions are
sought from the individual technique services and various ITRF
users, covering the complete range of topics, such as data
analysis, parameter estimation and correction models. Of special
interest is the assessment of the impact of non-linear station motions,
e.g. periodic signals and post-seismic deformations. Contributions
focusing on identifying and mitigating technique systematic errors
are most welcome, which will hopefully help improve the future ITRF
solutions.

Deadline to submit abstracts: 13 January 2016 at 13:00 CET

You can use the following link to submit an abstract:

Zuheir, on behalf of the conveners of session G2.2
