Subject: IAG Symposium G01 "Reference Frames" in Kobe: Abstract
Deadline extended to Feb 21. <br>
<br>
Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
The abstract submission deadline has been extended to February 21
for the joint scientific assembly <br>
of IAG and IASPEI, to be held from July 30 to August 4, 2017, in
Kobe, Japan. Various symposia <br>
(7 IAG, 27 IASPEI and 9 joint symposia) were proposed. Plenary
lectures will be delivered by <br>
Kosuke Heki (Hokkaido University), Barbara Romanowicz (UC Berkeley)
and Manabu Hashimoto <br>
(Kyoto University) during the opening ceremony. Half-day (morning)
field trips to Nojima Fault <br>
Museum (preservation of surface fault of the 1995 Kobe earthquake)
are planned during the <br>
assembly. More details are found at the assembly website

<br>
If you haven't already done so, this is your opportunity to consider
participating in the IAG symposia<br>
in Kobe. As co-convenors, we are specifically soliciting abstracts
to our IAG Symposium G01 "Reference Frames", <br>
described below. Abstracts relating to reference frames are
welcome from all researchers irrespective <br>
of IAG affiliation. <br>
<br>
Note that in this four-year cycle of IAG's structure, IAG Commission
1 on "Reference Frames" is now <br>
addressing a very broad variety of topics related to reference
frames, including (for example) relativistic <br>
geodesy, co-location using common parameters in space, co-location
using clocks and new sensors, <br>
troposphere ties, next generation reference frames, environmental
loading effects, etc. <br>
We therefore would especially encourage abstract submission from all
of you working with Commission 1, <br>
including the many subcommissions and their working groups, joint
study groups, and joint working groups. <br>
<br>

<br>
Thank you for considering your participation at Kobe in July/August!<br>

IAG Symposium G01 Reference frames<br>
<br>
Conveners:<br>
Geoffrey Blewitt (University of Nevada, USA)<br>
Johannes Böhm (Vienna Technical University, Austria)<br>
Zuheir Altamimi (IGN, France)<br>
Carine Bruyninx (Royal Observatory of Belgium, Belgium)<br>

Description:<br>
Reference systems and frames are of primary importance for Earth
science based research, satellite navigation as well as for
practical applications in geo-information. A precisely defined
reference frame is needed for an improved understanding of the
Earth's rotation and its gravity field, sea level change with time,
tectonic plate motion and deformation, glacial isostatic adjustment,
geocenter motion, deformation due to Earthquakes, local subsidence
and other crustal displacements. We invite presentations dealing
with theoretical aspects and the practical realization of reference
frames, as well as their application for research tasks like those
mentioned above. Further emphases of the session are on global
terrestrial and regional reference frames, celestial reference
frames, and the co-location of space geodetic techniques on ground
and in space.<br>
