<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10pt">In the past two decades high-precision GPS has
been applied to support numerous applications in Geosciences. Currently, there
are two fully operational Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), and two
more are in the implementation stage. The new Galileo and BDS systems already
provide usable signals, and both, GPS and GLONASS, are currently undergoing a
significant modernization, which adds more capacity, more signals, better
accuracy and interoperability, etc. Meanwhile, the huge technology development
provided GNSS equipment (in some cases even at low-cost) able to collect
measurements at much higher rates, up to 100 Hz, hence opening new
possibilities. Therefore, on one side, the new developments in GNSS stimulate a
broad range of new applications for solid and fluid Earth investigations, both
in post-processing and in real-time; on the other side, this results in new
problems and challenges in data processing which boost GNSS research.
Algorithmic advancements are needed to address the opportunities and challenges
in enhancing the accuracy, availability, interoperability and integrity of
high-precision GNSS applications. <br>
<br>
This session is a forum to discuss new developments in high-precision GNSS
algorithms and applications in Geosciences; in this respect, contributions from
other branches in Geosciences (geodynamics, seismology, tsunamis, ionosphere,
troposphere, etc.) are very welcome.<br>
<br>
We encourage, but not limit, submissions related to:<br>
- Modeling and strategies in high-precision GNSS,<br>
- Multi-GNSS benefit for Geosciences,<br>
- Multi-GNSS processing and product standards,<br>
- Inter-system and inter-frequency biases and calibrations,<br>
- New or improved GNSS products for high-precision applications (orbits,
clocks, UPDs, etc.),<br>
- Precise Point Positioning (PPP, PPP-RTK),<br>
- High-rate GNSS,<br>
- GNSS and other sensors (accelerometers, INS, ecc.) integration for high-rate
applications,<br>
- Ambiguity resolution and validation,<br>
- CORS services for Geosciences (GBAS, Network-RTK, etc.),<br>
- Precise Positioning of EOS platforms,<br>
- Precise Positioning for natural hazards prevention,<br>
- Monitoring crustal deformation and the seismic cycle of active faults,<br>
- GNSS and early-warning systems,<br>
