From t.otsubo at r.hit-u.ac.jp Wed Jan 25 00:36:49 2017 From: t.otsubo at r.hit-u.ac.jp (Toshimichi Otsubo) Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2017 09:36:49 +0100 Subject: [IGSMAIL-7417] IAG05 (G07) GGOS and Earth Monitoring session in Kobe IAG-IASPEI Assembly Message-ID: Dear IGS Colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to the GGOS session at the IAG-IASPEI 2017 Assembly to be held in Kobe, Japan. We encourage you and your colleagues to submit your abstracts by 8 February. Visit http://www.iag-iaspei-2017.jp/ for more details. --- IAG05 G07 Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) and Earth monitoring services The Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) has been designed to advance our understanding of the dynamic Earth by quantifying our planet's changes in space and time. It provides the observations needed to map, monitor and understand changes in the geodetic parameters describing the Earth system and the underlying processes. A global geodetic frame of reference of high quality and consistency is provided as the fundamental backbone for monitoring and consistently interpreting key processes. Moreover, GGOS complements other Earth monitoring systems and services as a unique contribution of the global scientific geodetic community. Present challenges are the monitoring of geo-hazards, sea level variations, global height changes or atmospheric parameters. The focus of this symposium lies on the progress of the consistent scientific integration of Earth geometry, rotation and gravity observations as well as related numerical and geophysical models. Presentations are welcome which address (1) the observation architecture, (2) the standardization, management, processing and interpretation of the GGOS observation data, (3) the implementation of new observations technologies such as atom-interferometry, highly precise clocks, ring laser gyroscopes, (4) the integrated analysis and interpretation of geodetic parameters, time series and fields.
