The upcoming joint EGS-AGU-EUG meeting for the Spring of 2003 is a unique opportunity to build on the strenths of each group and to meet and share ideas. This call combines the traditional AGU call for special sessions with the EGS approach of updating the previous-year skeletal program. We have tried to cover the "hot topics" and the topics which are presently under investigation in the core program listed below. We invite you to join these efforts by proposing a new idea for a session as well as suggest changes to the skeletal program. This is a great opportunity to highlight the exciting science contribution geodesy is making to a broad range of disciplines and at the same time give geodesists a chance to discuss the advancement of geodetic science. To make this first-time joint meeting successful, we need your help to create an exciting program. So, please send us your ideas and special session proposals, or volunteer to be a convenor for the core program, (preferrably) before the end of March 2002.
