Van Camp (Royal Observatory of Belgium), Howard A Zebker (U. Stanford), Olivier de Viron (IPGP & U. Paris Diderot), and myself would like to invite you to the geodesy session G007: Exotic and Unusual Applications of Geodesy (see description below) at the AGU 2012 Fall meeting 3-7 December in San Francisco, USA. The abstract submission deadline is Wednesday, 8 August. Please forward this email to whoever you think may be interested in the session. G007 Exotic and unusual applications of geodesy - session description: The accuracy of geodesy has opened doors to a wide variety of unexpected applications. For example, gravity measurements involve fundamental physics (Planck?s constant through the definition of the kilogram). GNSS is now a tool for meteorology, seismology, and ionosphere survey, and during the last years there has been an increasing interest in using reflected GNSS signals for remote sensing. Radar, especially InSAR, methods permit detailed measurement and imaging of cm-level deformation from hundreds of km distance and have led to valuable applications in hydrology, glaciology and volcanology. We welcome presentations about any non classical use of geodesy, the crazier the merrier! With best regards, Johan L?fgren ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Johan S.
