Workshop on the inter-comparison of gravity and geometric measurements


The Strasbourg University and the Institut de Physique du Globe de
Strasbourg are pleased to announce that an "International workshop on
the inter-comparison of space and ground gravity and geometric spatial
measurements" will take place from 16 to 18 October 2017 at the
University of Strasbourg, France.

Three main themes will be discussed during this workshop:

1. Comparing gravity with geometrical space technique (like VLBI, LLR,
SLR, DORIS or GNSS) to determine more precisely the surface deformation

2. Transfer function of the Earth at various time-scales related to the
elastic and visco-elastic properties of the Earth

3. From the modeling of geophysical layers to the realization of a
terrestrial reference frame: geocenter motions, modeling accuracy, ...
State of the art and next step towards the millimeter accuracy?

Registrations are free but compulsory at
