The description of the session is given below. On behalf of the conveners I would like to draw your attention to this session and encourage you to participate in it. We are developing a rich session that will explore the integration of legacy and next generation geodetic stations into a global geodetic observing system, and that will include presentations on the analysis of data and products from this system. We hope that you will be able to join us in Vienna for this exciting session. More information about the EGU General Assembly 2013 can be obtained from its web site at . Please note that the deadline for submitting abstracts is 09 January 2013. Hope to see you in Vienna! Best regards, Richard .......................................................... G2.1: The Global Geodetic Observing System: Next Generation Systems, Science and Applications The IAG's Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) provides the means for integrating ground- and spaced-based geodetic observations. Modernizing the existing geodetic infrastructure and homogenizing the processing of geodetic data are essential for consistent observation of Earth's time-variable shape, rotation, and gravity. This session is a forum for discussing ongoing and planned improvements to the geodetic observing systems and for using the observations from these systems to improve our understanding of the dynamic Earth. Contributions on the progress and plans for building next generation geodetic stations are solicited as are contributions on analyzing observations from the new and legacy stations to improve geodetic products such as Earth orientation parameters and reference frames. Contributions on integrating the new stations with the existing geodetic infrastructure are particularly welcome.
