The meeting will take place from May 6 to May 10, 1996. We have been asked to convene two of the sessions, G2 and G12/SE15, and we would like to invite you to submit abstracts for either or both of our sessions. The deadline for abstracts is: 1 5 D E C E M B E R 1 9 9 5 Below, a brief description of topics of each session is given. They also appeared in the September 1995 Newsletter (no. 56) of the EGS, which contains all the relevant information about the meeting, including abstract format, registration, deadlines and hotel reseravation.

Thanks to qualitative and quantitative developments of the instruments and analysis tools being used, and reaping from the wealth of information already gained during the past decades, geodesy is providing answers to "classical" problems like positioning, crustal deformation and earth orientation with unprecedented accuracy and detail. In addition, radio-frequency techniques in particular have opened up new study areas where geodesy contributes significantly: tidal deformations, ionosphere, troposphere, weather and climate. Contributions on the new fields mentioned here are sollicited in particular for this session. Such contributions may be obtained using ground-based equipment, e.g. by interpreting solutions for ionospheric delays affecting signals to the ground, or by studying series of daily or sub-daily solutions for vertical station positions. Alternatively,information gathered with spaceborn receivers also can be used for the study of topics that fall traditionally outside the scope of geodesy (e.g. limb sounding). session: G12/SE15 title: Inversion for Crustal Deformation using Geodetic Data Contemporary geodetic measurements, both spaceborn and terrestrial, provide a wealth of information on phenomena taking place on the surface of the Earth. Clear examples are deformations of the crust of the Earth, both vertical and horizontal, and variations in the gravitational signal on a particular location. Typically, these observations are manifestations of geophysical processes taking place within the Earth itself. Any analysis of geodetic observations is therefore not complete without a discussion and/or an interpretation of the underlying processes. Geoscientists and geodesists are invited to contribute to this session with papers on the inversion of geodetic observations such as station velocity fields into crustal deformation models. Technique descriptions, model developments and interpretations are equally welcome. Boudewijn Ambrosius and Ron Noomen [Mailed From: Boudewijn Ambrosius ]
